Politeness in Language by: emma, leo & oskari 9b

The Definition of Politeness “ … is one of the constraints of human interaction, whose purpose is to consider other`s feelings, establish levels of mutual comfort, and promote a relationship.” Hill et al. (1986: 282) (www.uni-hildesheim.de/~beneke/WS04.../politeness)

FTA= Face threatening act According to Brown and Levinson, positive and negatvie face does exists in human culture. When a person does a FTA they need to do a politeness tactic so that they lose the aftermath of the FTA and to continue theyre social interaction. Their are four tactics of FTA made by Brown & Levinson: positive politeness, negative politeness, bald on record politeness and off record politeness. (Marja Peedo)

POSITIVE POLITENESS Respects the other Needs to be understood and liked Compliment the other person E.g. you look nice today (Marja Peedo) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Hjlt6e74jc

NEGATIVE POLITENESS e.g. starting a question the person says first: If its not too much to ask… or could you please get out of the way (Marja Peedo)

OFF RECORD POLITENESS Off record politeness is like trying to hint or avoid saying your opinion straight forward for example: - This movie is boring (=let´s leave) Vague, Indistinct, unclear (Marja Peedo)

Bald On Record Politeness Bald = Blunt, frank, direct Direct opinion that might be rude but is excepted Greeting “Come in!” (no please or welcome) Task-oriented (Marja Peedo)

Politeness in Language abroad In Japan it is polite to end a persons name by -san (e.g. Johnnysan) In italy its polite to talk to people in third person. “…no Finnish word for "please". (If a request is done politely, it can be formulated with more polite forms, such as the Finnish equivalents of "would you" and "if you would be so kind", but there simply is no word that means "please".)” (http://warp.povusers.org/grrr/politeness.html) Eating with your mouth open (chewing loudly and smacking your lips) is a sign that you love the food and are complimenting the chef (ie. in some Asian cultures) (Hottdoggi)
