Abstract:

The paper touches upon the aspects of saving face in intercultural communication. Eight basic strategies for conflict behaviour have been identified that depend on the nature and psychotype of the person. In addition, the main patterns for human behaviour in intercultural communication are established, the peculiarities of politeness are described on the examples of South Korea, Germany and Ukraine. Moreover, the main non-verbal signs are described and how they are perceived by the contextuality of the countries of the world. As a result, general rules are established that will help save face

Abstract:

The majority of the previous research suggested that the significance of face on social communication is both prevalent and powerful. Every communication channel has the potential to risk the harmony between speakers and hearers. As a result, based on the concept of politeness strategies, this study explores face-saving behavior employed by Facebook users. By examining the different situations of interactions, the paper attempts to describe and analyze the use of politeness strategies on Facebook. The results found that all speakers employed all four politeness strategies proposed by Brown and

Abstract:

The role of language in the recently conducted May 2022 Philippine national elections could not be underestimated. For the presidential candidates, language became very functional in expressing their platform and governmental advocacies for the public. Post-election, language still became purposive when former Vice President Leni Robredo, who was defeated in the presidential elections, delivered her post-election speech and expressed her sentiments regarding her loss in the candidacy.

Abstract:

Teachers’ use of language was believed to give impact for the success of language learners in one way or another. As some teachers’ speech included managing classroom, giving instructions, and providing feedbacks, it is inevitable that a teacher would use the power and make the students uncomfortable. To soften the speech or lessen the impact to the students, a teacher could use some strategies of politeness inside the classroom. Seeing how linguistic politeness manifested by teachers could generally affect the students’ esteem, this study aimed at observing face-threatening and face-saving ut

Abstract:

Apology is an inevitable part of human communication as an act of face-saving strategy. It is necessarily uttered if an offense is made. This research is an attempt to reveal the apology strategies used as well as to analyze the influence of social distance and relative power to the realization of apology strategies, as seen in Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince, and Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1 and 2. In total, there are 125 data found and those are classified according the apology strategy employed. The result shows that the major

Abstract:

The present study aimed at exploring the strategies of disagreement and hedging devices used by native speakers of English. The study elicited the informants’ reactions when disagreeing with higher, equal, and lower status. The responses were analyzed using Brown and Levinson’s (1987) politeness model and Hyland’s (1998) hedging taxonomy. Discourse completion test data was analyzed both quantitatively and qualitatively. The findings revealed that native speakers of American English used positive politeness strategies considerably with higher and equal status interlocutors (father, teacher, and

Waste classification helps to maximize the recovery of resources, reduce environmental pollution and promote sustainable economic development. To improve the willingness of rural residents to classify waste, based on the background of a rural acquaintance society, this thesis constructed a theoretical model of waste classification cognition, willingness to classify, economic incentives, face consciousness and vernacular identity affecting the willingness of rural residents to classify waste, and put forward seven research hypotheses. With the help of 530 valid surveys of rural residents in Jia

Abstract:

Politicians resort to euphemism as a "safe" way to deal with unpleasant subjects and criticize their opponents without giving a negative impression to their audiences. In this regard, it is my purpose to gain an insight into the way euphemism is used by politicians from Norfolk and Suffolk both at word and sentence level using a sample of the regional newspaper Eastern Daily Press, published in Norwich (UK). To this end, I will rely on the frameworks of critical-political discourse analysis (Van Dijk 1993, 1997; Wilson 2001), pragmatic theory, particularly politeness and facework (Brown and Le

Abstract:

Refusals are complex face-threatening speech acts whose appropriate performance requires not only lengthy sequences of negotiation and cooperative achievements, but also face-saving strategies to accommodate the disruptive nature of the act (Gass & Houck 1999). Also, since they have a face threatening nature, they are subject to cultural variations. Consequently, care must be taken in the choice of refusal strategies. On that account, this paper first describes the speech act of refusal and reviews findings of empirical interventional studies on this speech act, with particular interest in

In this article, I investigate how political dissent is linguistically constructed and mitigated in memes that are circulated nationally on WhatsApp in Oman. I do so by drawing upon insights from relational approaches to face, the theorization of communicative strategies as polysemous and ambiguous, and research pertaining to the Islamic practice of lamenting. The data consist of a representative set of memes collected in the summer and fall of 2015 as part of an ethnographic project on social media and Arab identity.

Under the law, an accused person is not yet a criminal until some facts of allegation have been levelled and proved against such a person. The interrogation techniques police employ to deduce facts from an accused person involve the use of language.

Pragmatics, the study of language in context, is essential for understanding the nuanced use of English in communication. This article examines how politeness strategies, as a core aspect of pragmatics, function in English interactions. Drawing on Brown and Levinson’s (1987) politeness theory, the article explores how speakers manage face-threatening acts (FTAs) through linguistic choices such as indirectness, hedging, and honorifics. A qualitative study involving native and non-native English speakers was conducted to investigate the use of politeness strategies in requests, apologies,
