2.2 Communication Strategies Theories

2.2. 1 Definition
The notion of communication strategies stemmed from error analysisand was first introduced in the early 1970s. Selinker (1972) coined theterm 'communication strategies' in his seminal paper on 'interlanguage'and rooted the notion of communication strategies in the tradition of erroranalysis.From that time on, different scholars give their own definitions ofcommunication strategies from their points of view. No certain definitionof communication strategies finds general acceptance. Views on whatthey comprise are rather diverse. The approaches of definingcommunication strategies generally fall into two major categories: theinteractional approach and the psycholinguistic approach (Ellis, 1994).
