CHAPTER III DATA ANALYSIS

Expressions of gratitude which are made by AEs, INs, and ELs, as the data of the present study, are first categorized into thanking taxonomy which is built by Cheng. Then, expressions of gratitude which are made by three groups in every situation are compared. After that, the data analysis is presented according to the research questions. As baseline data, expressions of gratitude which are made by AEs and INs are first compared by pragmalinguistic and sociopragmatic approaches. To investigate the evidences of pragmatic transfer, the expressions of gratitude which are made by ELs are compared with the baseline data. Qualitative method is employed. All expressions of gratitude which are analyzed in the present study are originally elicited by DCT as the instrument of the study.
