Tracking the features of Japanese dialogue through audiovisual materials: a pragmatic proposal

Dialogue is a communicative genre that is conditioned by culture. As already described in conversation analysis studies, the rules that underpin it imply, not only linguistic abilities in the foreign language, but rather an intercultural knowledge that can be defined cumulatively as sociopragmatic competence. Nowadays, a great deal of sociopragmatic contents necessary to foreign language learners are deduced through the observation of feature films and fiction through the process of audiovisual translation.
