General Extenders:A Survey of Studies with Special Reference to Their Acquisition by Chinese EFL Students

摘要：

　　General extenders(GEs)are typically utterance-final expressions,which are variously named in accordance with the different perspectives on their functions,which are referential,discourse extending,politeness marking,and effect-intensifying,in addition to their recently identified functions as turn-switching,and hedging expectations of informativeness and accuracy.Their use by Chinese EFL students is seriously imbalanced,with only a few frequently used and the overwhelming majority in disuse.This tendency is attributed to the lack of authentic language exposure,the negative transfer of Mandarin and inadequate ways of learning.
