Abstract

In the modern society where globalization is prevalent, intercultural communication skills are particularly important. Therefore, the development of pragmatic skills should not be neglected in second language learning. However, cultural differences cause difficulties in communication between people of different cultural backgrounds. In this regard, the negative pragmatic transfer has been regarded as the primary factor causing pragmatic failure. Therefore, an in-depth study of the phenomenon of negative pragmatic transfer has positive implications for second language acquisition and the development of intercultural communication skills. In order to further understand the process of the negative pragmatic transfer, this article firstly introduces the definition of pragmatic transfer and several factors affecting the pragmatic transfer, and then focuses on the pragmatic transfer phenomenon in English and Chinese from two aspects: pragmatic language transfer and social pragmatic transfer. Finally, several implications of the negative pragmatic transfer for second language teaching are discussed: to avoid negative pragmatic transfer in second language acquisition, a more comparative analysis should be conducted in foreign language teaching; students’ cross-cultural awareness should be cultivated and learners should be encouraged to input a large amount of the target language.
