Uses of Request Act by Learners of Turkish as a Foreign Language

Summary/Abstract: The aim of this study is to determine the uses of request speech acts in different contexts by those learning Turkish as a foreign language, in the light of the Speech Act Theory developed by Austin and Searle. This study has a qualitative research design in a descriptive model. In the study, data from two sample groups consisting of 75 first language Turkish speakers and 262 second language Turkish speakers were collected by appropriate sampling. The data of the study were collected by the Discourse Completion Test. In the analysis of the sub-problems of the study, Blum-Kulka’s request strategies, which are included in Blum-Kulka and Olshtain’s classification, were used. When the results of the study were examined, it was seen that the second language Turkish speakers used request speech act in situations they face for the first time or rarely, and that the first language Turkish speakers chose to use request speech acts rather based on their intuition, grammar knowledge or language transfer.
