Annotation

This article focuses on the favor-asking speech act set and its impact on an addressee in terms of a specific reaction -imposition. The results of a survey amongst U.S. English speakers help to determine how imposed upon people feel when certain favors are asked, and what might be the pedagogical implications for non-native learners.
