Resum

El discurso del desacuerdo es un área que ha recibido poca atención en el campo de la pragmática de la interlengua. Sin embargo, en la comunicación académica, las estrategias empleadas en este acto de habla preceden al desarrollo de un argumento, un género textual que se considera central para el posicionamiento escolar. Cuanto menos equitativa sea la relación de poder entre las partes (entre pares, entre el maestro y el grupo de estudiantes etc.), mayor será la intensidad ilocutiva de este acto. Este estudio tiene como objetivo investigar las estrategias utilizadas por los estudiantes chinos de español L2 en una situación de desigualdad (estudiante/profesor) para realizar el acto de desacuerdo en su segundo idioma. Los datos relacionados con 149 estudiantes universitarios chinos se obtuvieron mediante una tarea basada en un marco pedagógico en la que tuvieron que escribir un correo electrónico a su profesor expresando su desacuerdo. Para identificar su conocimiento sociopragmático en un entorno digital y su adecuación en un contexto académico español, se examinó la microestructura de sus escritos en busca de movimientos pragmáticos relacionados con la cortesía y el grado de dirección. Nuestros resultados sugieren que los estudiantes chinos analizados en el estudio no se ajustaron a un registro o una forma apropiada en el español académico.
