摘　　要：This study aims at investigating the disagreement strategies that are usually used by Jordanian Arabic speakers.A discourse completion task(DCT)was used to collect data.The DCT is a written questionnaire that includes 10 imaginary situations.Two thousand three hundred and twenty-two expressions of disagreement were collected from the responses of 217 Jordanian respondents from Yarmouk University in Irbid Governorate.The researcher developed a taxonomy of disagreement strategies to classify the collected data.The findings revealed that Jordanian Arabic speakers employed 11 strategies which fall into two types:softened strategies and strong strategies.In general,Jordanian Arabic speakers prefer to use softened disagreement strategies more than strong strategies.The findings indicated that giving explanations was the most frequently used disagreement strategy,while giving advice was the least used strategy.
