“…Apologies are used across all cultures and languages (Koceva & Kostadinova, 2021), and they are crucial in maintaining social relationships. One of the most important projects in crosscultural pragmatics is the Cross Cultural Speech Acts Realization Project (CCSARP) which included the study of apology and requests in different languages in numerous contexts.…”

Apology may be defined as “a compensatory action for an offense committed by the speaker which has affected the hearer” (Marquez-Reiter, 2000, p. 44), and a compliment is another speech act "which explicitly or implicitly attributes credit to someone other than the speaker... which is positively valued by the speaker and the hearer" (Holmes, 1986, p. 485). The focus of this paper is to find out which strategies are employed by Turkish pre-service EFL (English as a Foreign Language) teachers while apologizing and responding to compliments especially with equal-status interlocutors, and whether these strategies show differences between females and males. Written Discourse Completion Test (WDCT) was administered to 27 pre-service EFL teachers. The WDCT included six apology and seven compliment response scenarios. The data were analyzed mainly by using the framework of Blum-Kulka and Olshtain (1984) for apologies, and the coding scheme by Ruhi (2006) for compliment responses. Main findings of the study suggest that the participants frequently used the strategy of regret while apologizing, and they preferred to use appreciation strategy while responding to compliments. In addition, chi-square test was applied to see any significant differences between the strategies of females and males in apologizing and responding to compliments. This gender-based comparison resulted in no statistical difference except for only one of the apology scenarios. The overall results imply that investigating pragmatic knowledge of students majoring in ELT through their speech act realizations is vital and may be the first step for organizing appropriate interventions aiming at improving and expanding their pragmatic knowledge.

Linguistic aspects are very important in English. When linguistics became a linguistic science, people studied it in several branches of linguistics, including phonetics, phonology, morphology, semantics, sociolinguistics, and Practical. Speech act is one of the important components of pragmatics because speech act is a branch of pragmatics, related to all types of utterances made by speakers and its meaning depends on the point of view of the speaker. speaker and interlocutor. Speech acts are divided into three types: speech, speech, and speech. As technology advances, more media can support the learning process making it more enjoyable. Like learning by reading novels, watching movies and even listening to songs. This search is an analytical speech act introduced by Searle in Cartoons: Coco. The problem of this research is: what types of speech acts are proposed by the main characters in cartoons: Coco and what is the most dominant speech act among the main characters in cartoons: Coco. This study employed a descriptive qualitative methodology. With the qualitative descriptive method, information is gathered via the use of words and images rather than figures. Interviews, field notes, photos, videotapes, private documents, notes or memos, and other documents can all provide data. The author of this research does a case study, provides a basic description, and goes over the language. Because the study's focus is on natural events or symptoms, the author employs this kind of qualitative research in it. The author of this paper will examine Coco, the cartoon's primary character, through an analysis of her verbal acts. Results of the study is: to explore the type of speech act that the main character proposes in the cartoon: Coco and to find out which speech act is most dominant among the main characters in an animated film: Coco. In this study, the author only focuses on studying one type of linguistic behavior, which is linguistic behavior.
