Since Austin’s (1962) classic work How To Do Things With Words
there have been numerous studies about the way in which
utterances are used as a mean to perform actions. The branch of
linguistics that deals with this phenomenon is pragmatics, which
emerged in the 1960s as a reaction to Chomsky’s idea that the
importance of language lies in the correct use of grammar (MartínezFlor and Usó-Juan 2010). After the elaboration of several models of
communicative competence presented by a number of authors such
as Canale and Swain (1980), Bachman (1990), and Celce-Murcia
(1995, 2007), the idea that pragmatic awareness is necessary in order
for speakers to be successful in communication has spread, being
one of the most relevant constructs the one introduced by CelceMurcia (2007). Research has been conducted especially on speech
acts, such as Leech’s (2014) book The Pragmatics of Politeness,
whose taxonomy will be used in this study, and on the use of
audiovisual material for teaching purposes. For that reason, we have
carried out an analysis on speech acts, and in particular on apologies,
in the fiction TV series The Big Bang Theory. The aim of this study is
to analyse whether apologies in the nine episodes examined mirror
real-life conversations, and if so, to show that this audiovisual
material may be used for classroom activities as an appropriate tool
to develop students’ pragmatic knowledge. [-]
