Pragmatics is a branch of linguistics, is a new field of linguistics. It examines specific words in a particular scenario is the study of how to understand and use language in a different language communicative environment. Pragmatics history is not long, but the pragmatics developed very rapidly, and its rise and development of modern linguistics further studies, the inevitable result of the widening of the scope of the study. Cross-cultural language school focuses on language differences and approximate cross-cultural and cross-language communication. British philosopher Austin speech act theory, this theory is to explain the theory of human language communication, speech act theory is an important research topic in pragmatics. Speech Act Theory and language materials combined analysis of the research focus of the speech act theory, the inevitable trend of linguistic research. Pragmatic point of view, the request speech acts in Russia and China, the two different cultural backgrounds comprehensive and systematic analysis and comparison. Russia Han request speech act structure, strategy and impact of the implementation of the request speech act request speech act factors Overview Summary. Innovation and difficulty of this paper is that the Pragmatic point of view of Russian-Chinese \to achieve successful communication. Contribute to the study of Russian and Chinese cross-cultural communication. The paper is divided into six sections: Introduction;, speech act theory; Chapter II, the relevant principles; Chapter, Russian and Chinese to request verbal behavior research; Chapter, Russian and Chinese request speech act contrast; conclusion. Introduction of this research task, significance and research methods. The first chapter of this writing, the main theoretical guidance. First introduced the background of speech act theory. Since the 20th century, with the traditional philosophy of \During the prevalence of the Anglo-American analytic philosophy, including the two major parties: the school of logical positivism and ordinary language school. Their theoretical differences is an important reason to cause the speech act theory generated. It also describes the creation and development of speech act theory, including Austin's speech act theory and Searle's speech act theory. Austin founded the speech act theory, Searle its development, improve and indirect speech act theory. Austin first proposed facilities for the sentence \With the constant improvement of the study, Austin amended their point of view, the third of the speech act that. Sale in Austin made the criticism on the basis of the five classes of speech acts, and the conditions for the implementation of speech acts. The successful implementation of speech acts is an important basis to distinguish between the various speech acts. Searle's contribution is the indirect speech act theory. The problem to be solved: how the caller through the literal meaning of \Indirect speech act is divided into the Statute indirect speech acts and non-conventional Indirect speech acts. Most non-conventional Indirect speech acts need to use context for analysis. The second chapter describes the principles of cooperation, courtesy of principles and face theory. Request speech act is essentially impolite behavior, to the detriment of the face of the hearer. So how successful the implementation of the request speech act, the theoretical support of these three principles. The third chapter is the focus of this article. The first is the list of prerequisites and structure of the implementation of the request speech act. From a structural point of view, the request speech act is divided into three parts starting behavior language, a central actor in language and secondary language of Conduct. Then summarized the request of the classification of speech acts. It can be divided into three categories: (a) direct request speech acts; (b) conventional Indirect Speech Act; (c) non-conventional Indirect Speech Act. Direct request of expression of speech acts, including (1) tone export type; the demand statement type (2) facilities for the verb type; (3) An obligation to type; (4). Direct request speech act means of expression form of clear, clear, and easy to be understood. Conventional Indirect Speech Act is divided into (1) the proposed type of expression; (2) ask the type of expression; non-conventional Indirect speech acts include (1) strong hint type; (2) weak implied type, and its expression is more complicated, analyzed according to the specific context. The same time, the factors that affect the request of speech acts In this article, we only select from four main factors for analysis. These include: (a) social distance; (b) the relative power; (c) the degree of difficulty of the behavior; (d) gender differences. The fourth chapter is the novelty of this article. This chapter from the syntactic structure of the discourse level, the cultural level three angles Russia Han request verbal behavior compared to distinguish similarities and differences. On the syntactic structure, although there are some the Russian request Sentences in Chinese peer Sentences found, but the two languages, there are still some common syntactic features that they can not. At the discourse level, the people of the Russian-speaking countries in favor of the first statement request behavior, and then explain the reasons. On the contrary, usually in the context of Chinese to explain why, and then submit a written request behavior. At the cultural level, Russia is a weak culture of communication environment, China Environmental Culture is a strong communication. Many researchers believe that in the study of cross-cultural communication, different cultures, different societies, different groups of people, manner of speaking there is a difference. Way of speaking differences reflect differences in cultural values, and way of speaking, the differences in communication style can only get a reasonable explanation for the different cultural value system. Conclusion a concise summary of the full text.
