A Pragmatic Analysis Of ‘Face’ Achieving And Evaluating During Vivas In Iraqi Kurdistan Universities.
PhD thesis, Universiti Sains Malaysia.
Abstract
This study aims to analyse interactions between participants during vivas in Iraqi Kurdistan universities in order to find out how face, conceptualised as relational connection and separation, is achieved, understood within the Kurdish and Arabic culture- specific construals of face, and evaluated as a threat to the participants’ relationships. This study is important as there is an excessive use of negative acts of criticisms, disagreements, and challenging questions during vivas in Iraqi Kurdistan universities that may negatively affect the participants’ relationships and cause a threat to them.
