Pa Pa Sein
Thanda Soe
This research aims to investigate the realization of the speech act of requesting by
English specialization postgraduate students in Mandalay University. By the application
of the coding scheme for speech acts proposed by Blum-Kulka & Olshtain (1984) in their
Cross-cultural Speech Acts Realization Patterns (CCSARP) project, the data were
collected through a discourse completion test (DCT) questionnaire with twelve created
request situations. After identifying the utterances of requesting in their units, this
research makes an analysis to discover what request perspective is the most common
approach to requests for the English specialization postgraduate students in Myanmar and
to explore what request strategies they use when they make a request in the target
language. The main findings are that the H-oriented request perspective was the most
popular among requests made by the postgraduate students and with regard to the request
strategy conventionally indirect request strategies was the most frequently used.
