Abstract

Long time, traditional linguistics research focuses on the language itself, the object of the study are mostly limited to the American linguist Chomsky Competence Swiss linguist Saussure said Langue confined to linguistic form, while ignoring the language and human the close ties of the social environment and human culture. Sociolinguistic and pragmatic establishment and development of the science, linguistics research focus gradually shifted from a structural shift from the language in the form of isolated forms of language in the social environment. With the increasingly frequent cross-cultural communication and cross-cultural communication, communication failure that frequently appear in one of the hot topics as language learning and its subdiscipline - interlanguage language learning, language mistakes caused by domestic and foreign linguistics home, attention and language teachers. Home and abroad many scholars and linguists for language mistakes, pragmatic migration, the purpose of the formation and development of pragmatic competence, the teaching role of the formation and development of the ability to use the target language language, a number of studies in the last two The decade has been a large number of results come out. At home and abroad on Pragmatic Failure did a study to many scholars. These studies fully explain the universality of Intercultural Communication Pragmatic Failure. The results of their research is undoubtedly very useful information on the foreign language teaching, also played a big push to promote the role of foreign language teaching. Now, more and more people are aware of the existence of Pragmatic Failure. These studies we have laid a good foundation for the Pragmatic Failure further depth research. However, I found so far Intercultural Pragmatic mistakes exist the following problems: (1) \) and social pragmatics mistakes (sociopragmatic failure). This dichotomy has many limitations, because she ignored an important aspect of communication, namely Nonverbal Communication in Pragmatic Failure; ③ Most of the studies are the level of the speech act, the lack of discourse level excavations; ④ the weight spoken language communication corpus, light written language collection of mistakes corpus; ⑤ corpus collected mostly learn and speech act discourse gestalt (DCT) \versatility (He Zhaoxiong 1999); ⑥ multiple description different literary forms, language mistakes instance, lack of Pragmatic Failure root causes. Foreign language teaching must be clear that the aim is to train the different cultural backgrounds of people between the appropriate communicative talents. Needless to say, to understand as much as possible to avoid Pragmatic Failure learners successfully excluded black Sen one of the prerequisites for Intercultural Communication. Cross-cultural communication for the purpose of teaching is superior to the traditional teaching of language knowledge, because the improvement of students' intercultural communicative competence will help learners to consciously avoid Pragmatic Failure in Intercultural Communication, so as to achieve the appropriate communicative purposes. Therefore, systematic and in-depth analysis of the language with the mistakes, explore the existence of both English and culture in language pragmatics and social pragmatics language differences, to identify the theoretical roots Pragmatic mistakes it is very necessary and urgent. Cross-cultural Pragmatic mistakes allows us to understand its nature to help us have a better understanding of Intercultural Pragmatic differences raise the importance and urgency of Intercultural Communication Ability of English learners. The paper first reviews the different definitions of pragmatics, pragmatic mistakes definitions and study defined descriptive statistics will be collected in real life and student classroom Pragmatic Failure classification, from the social, cultural and cognitive point of view of its causes the inappropriate language input, and culture, way of thinking, Pragmatic Principles difference. Of trying to avoid the problems of the existing pragmatic mistakes studies, to change the idea that the Pragmatic Failure is the language, even spoken one-sided understanding of the research, Pragmatic Failure conduct a study on the communicative context, and college English classroom teaching should be put forward on this basis: through context, pragmatics, and cultural awareness training to improve learners' intercultural communicative competence the pragmatic behavior \should be carried out according to the need of teaching materials and content adaptation and improvement of teachers and education administrative departments should pay attention to and improve business and professional skills of the teachers. Pragmatic Failure in Intercultural Communication is still not uncommon in the case of significantly improved our standard of English teaching, students' English application ability. College English teachers should make full use of classroom time, starting from the language, culture, and cognition, and to help improve students' intercultural communicative competence, to minimize or even avoid Pragmatic Failure.
