Abstract

This paper explores the pragmatic characteristics of spontaneous speech within the framework of cross-cultural communication. Spontaneous speech reflects the natural, unplanned expression of human thought and emotion, and thus serves as a key window into real-life communicative competence. The study highlights how pragmatic factors—such as context, politeness, presupposition, implicature, repair, and turn-taking—manifest differently across cultures. Drawing on insights from pragmatics, sociolinguistics, and intercultural studies, the paper argues that successful cross-cultural interaction requires awareness of how spontaneous speech is pragmatically organized in different linguistic communities. The findings suggest that pragmatic competence, more than grammatical mastery, is crucial for avoiding misunderstanding in intercultural contexts.
