Abstract
This study investigates the efficiency of the principle of Parsimony in task-oriented dialogues performed by
Iraqi EFL learners . It is concerned with how speakers behave while engaging in a task-oriented dialogues .
Speakers have a multitude of decisions to make when producing an utterance . The effort involved in achieving
a goaled task in a dialogue can be measured and the strategies used by speakers to achieve the task successfully
can be varied . This study examines the outcomes of Shadbolt`s ( 1984 ) principle of parsimony depending on
the work of Davies ( 1997 ) on native speakers of English. The method adopted a subset of HCRC Map Task
Corpus ( Anderson et al , 1991a ) and the data are statistically tested
