Abstract
The current study attempts to investigate Iraqi EFL learners' recognition of impoliteness strategies according to their gender, age, and place of residence. As associated with this aim, the study hypothesizes that there is no statistically significant difference between the calculated value and the tabulated value of the recognition test of impoliteness strategies used by Iraqi EFL learners according to their gender, age, and place of residence. A test, which is the source of the data, is used to test the hypotheses of the study. A sample of 140 Iraqi EFL college students at the fourth year stage, Department of English, College of Education of Human Sciences, University of Tikrit, participated in responding to the test. The data collected from the test is analyzed according to Culpeper (1996). The results of this study indicate that gender, age, and place of residence affect Iraqi EFL learners' recognition of impoliteness strategies.
