随着社会和经济的发展，国际之间的合作与交流不断深入，跨文化交际语用失误已成为语用学和应用语言学研究的一个重要领域。本文从语用学和跨文化交际角度出发，首先回顾了语用学的定义以及跨文化交际和语用学的关系，并且对语用失误概念进行界定和归类;然后，从中西语言和文化差异、语用负迁移、思维方式和言语行为差异、语用原则、分析了跨文化语用失误的原因;最后，通过分析现实生活中出现的语用失误现象，提出在跨文化交际中如何避免语用失误及其对外语教学的启示;总结得出外语教学应该通过文化意识的培养、传统教学理念和教学方法的改革，培养和提高学习者的语用能力和跨文化交际能力。

With the development of society and economy, the communication cooperation between nations becomes more and more frequent. Pragmatic failure has been one of the heated topics in the field of pragmatics and applied linguistics. From the view of pragmatics and cross-cultural communication, the thesis firstly reviews the definitions of pragmatics and the relationship between pragmatics and intercultural communication. Then, pragmatic failure is defined and classified. At the same time, I probe into the causes of the pragmatic failure from the following aspects as: language and culture differences, negative pragmatic transfer, different thinking patterns and speech behavior, pragmatic principles. Through analyzing many phenomena of pragmatic failures collected from the real life, the thesis finally puts forwards some practical suggestions and implications for foreign language teaching, arriving at the conclusion that foreign language teaching should concentrate on improving the students' intercultural communicative competence and pragmatic competence through the cultivation of students' cultural awareness, reformation of traditional teaching concepts and methods.

Key words:intercultural communication, pragmatic failure, pragmatic competence, communicative competence, EFL teaching and learning
