This study investigates second language (L2) interactional competence in Mandarin Chinese, with a specific focus on dispreference organization in refusals. Twenty-eight L2 Chinese learners at 3 proficiency levels (A2, B1, and B2) and 10 native speakers each participated in 3 role plays. We found that learners at different levels clearly differed in their ability to organize refusals as dispreferred and to fine tune their refusal to the initiating action. Lower intermediate (A2) learners either fronted negative responses or adopted a single dispreference marker (e.g., apologies, pauses, prefatory particles, etc.), whereas upper intermediate (B1) learners overwhelming delayed their refusals and never produced straightforward negations, also showing different organizations of refusals depending on the initiating action. Advanced learners combined sequential tools and linguistic devices to demonstrate a strong orientation toward affiliation, and clearly oriented to scenarios differentially. However, they lagged behind native speakers, who had more diversified interactional tools and systematically oriented to features of the initiating actions. We attribute the differences partially to L2 proficiency, though proficiency-independent increase in contextual sensitivity can be observed.

第二语言普通话中文拒绝的熟练程度和偏好组织

本研究调查了普通话中的第二语言 (L2) 交互能力,特别关注拒绝中的不偏好组织。28名汉语学习者3个水平(A2、B1、B2)和10名母语人士各参加了3场角色扮演。我们发现,不同层次的学习者将拒绝组织为不受欢迎的行为以及微调他们对发起行为的拒绝的能力明显不同。中低级(A2)学习者要么面对消极反应,要么采用单一的不喜欢标记(例如,道歉、停顿、前言助词等),而中高级(B1)学习者压倒性地延迟拒绝,从不直接否定,也表现出不同拒绝组织取决于发起行动。高级学习者将顺序工具和语言工具结合起来,以表现出强烈的归属感,并清楚地以不同的方式定位场景。然而,他们落后于母语人士,后者拥有更多样化的交互工具,并系统地针对发起行为的特征。我们将差异部分归因于 L2 熟练程度,尽管可以观察到与熟练程度无关的语境敏感性增加。
