Sumario:A high level of linguistic affinity usually results in higher commonality in the grammatical plane. However, this does not always occur in the pragmatic plane because of cultural conventions whose divergences can endanger communicative effectiveness. The objective of this article is to explain with empirical data the importance of the development of a pragmatic awareness in the study of related languages. For this purpose, verbal politeness strategies are analyzed in a sample of emails in Spanish and Italian in which university students have made requests to their professors. The results indicate that, despite the great linguistic and cultural affinity, emails from Spanish and Italian academic contexts show different tendencies in the selection of verbal politeness strategies and that the pragmatic characteristics of L1 are carried over to L2.
