This paper analyzes the acquisitional stages of L2 apology realizations in response to discourse completion tasks produced in a cross-sectional study by 78 Catalan learners of English at three di¤erent proficiency levels. The average number of explicit apologies (IFIDs) used per situation is exam- ined, as are the learners' lexical choice of apology performative verbs, on the one hand, and the degree and type of apology intensification (both lex- ical and phrasal) they use, on the other. The learner data is compared to analogous British English and Catalan native speaker data. The paper dis- cusses pragmatic transfer, as well as the types of interlanguage behavior of each of the three groups of L2 learners |
