AB This study aims at examining pragmatic transfer in the Sudanese university students' production of the speech act of requesting in English. It tried to identify and study instances of sociopragmatic and pragmalinguistic transfer in the subjects' utterances.  Two written discourse completion tests were used to collect the study data from 200 students. The study found that the subjects used sociopragmatic and pragmalinguistic norms of their mother tongue and culture when realizing the speech act in English.The subjects resorted to pragmalinguistic transfer when they produced Islamic greetings and made prayers to requestees, and when they translated some Arabic words, expressions, and structures in their English responses. It also found that the subjects made reverse prgamalinguistic transfer from the foreign language to mother tongue when they inserted English words in their Arabic answers.The study also showed that the subjects used the sociopragmatic norms of their language and culture when they used successive elaborated greetings, native discourse strategies that over-represent reality to gain sympathy of others, kinship address terms with strangers, and when they misperceived the social distance and relation with others.
