Özet:

 The relationship between pragmatic appropriateness and motivation is not a widely studied phenomenon. In this study, we investigate the role of promotion and prevention-oriented motivation on pragmatic appropriateness. Advanced level Turkish college students learning English as a Foreign Language n100 responded to a written discourse completion task which consisted of scenarios to elicit requests or opinions with different levels of imposition, power, and social distance. The findings showed that the students were more promotion oriented to achieve positive outcomes, and pragmatic appropriateness of their responses to the task were rated fair regardless of the imposition, power, and social distance depicted in the scenarios. Further studies could focus on the interplay between pragmatic appropriateness and factors such as gender and first language background.
