'DON'T YOU LIKE ME? AM I UGLY? OR DON'T I SPEAK WELL?' ANALYSIS OF DISAGREEMENT AND EMOTIONAL EXHIBITION IN THE EMAILS OF CHÍNESE UNIVERSITY STUDENTS OF SPANISH

This study aims to investigate the strategies used in an unequal situation (student/lecturer) by Chinese learners of Spanish as a second language in order to perform the speech act of disagreement in their second language. Data relating to 149 Chinese university students were gathered by means of a pedagogical framework-based task in which they had to write an email to their lecturer expressing their disagreement. To identify their sociopragmatic knowledge in a digital environment and its adequacy in an academic Spanish context, the microstructure of their writings was examined for pragmatic moves related to politeness and level of directness.
