POLITNESS THEORY BY BROWN &LEVINSON

12 comments
Politeness has been studied in a variety of cultures for many years, Penelope Brown and Stephen Levinson's politeness theory has become very influential.[4] In 1987, Brown and Levinson proposed that politeness was a universal concept,[5] which has had some disagreement within academia.[6][7] Politeness is the expression of the speakers' intention to mitigate face threats carried by certain face threatening acts toward the listener.[6] Another definition is "a battery of social skills whose goal is to ensure everyone feels affirmed in a social interaction".[1] Therefore, being polite can be an attempt for the speaker to save their own face or the face of who he or she is talking to.
