The article presents a pragmatic analysis of politeness theory. The author defines politeness as a form of social interaction that is conditioned by the sociocultural forms of a particular society that can be expressed through communicative acts. The author cites a 2001 study by Ron Cheng which says that the reason why politeness has become an important issue in the study of language use is because it is a factor that determines what a speaker says and how he or she says it. |
