    1. Hi yona thank you for clicking into my blog, read it and thank you for asking me this question. well, let me help you to get the answer then,

      so, The Politeness theory is a theory that appeared within the framework of pragmatic approach in linguistics. According to this theory the interlocutors use particular strategies in order to achieve successful communication. These strategies enable to create maximally comfortable environment for communication.

      The key ideas of politeness theory were offered in the works by P. Brown and S. Levinson “Politeness: some universals on language usage”. Relying on the works by American sociologist Erving Goffmann [Goffman 1967], the authors chose the notion of “face” as the basis of their theory. It reflects two opposite needs of a human: on the one hand, a desire to be approved of and appreciated by the interlocutor («positive face»), on the other hand, to have his/her independent point of view and relative freedom of opinion («negative face»). Therefore, politeness is understood as the ability of people to use interactive strategies depending on communicative situation. By their means the communicator is capable of making a good impression on the interlocutor and creating a positive self-image or, on the contrary, expanding his/her personal space [Holmes J. 2006].

      Brown and Levinson gradually develop their concept considering every action of the communicants from a perspective of a potential threat to an individual face. According to the authors’ position, a person tends to protect their own face in the communication process thus deviating from clear and direct communication. On this basis we can distinguish the strategies of positive politeness (for instance, demonstration of interest, sympathy) and negative politeness (for example, expressing pessimism, apologizing). Moreover, estimating face threatening acts three basic socio-cultural variables are taken into consideration: social distance between interlocutors, the degree of power on each other and ranking. [Holmes J. 2006].

      The comprehensive theory offered by the researchers became the centre of attention of scholars from different fields of science: the concept was used for cross-cultural comparison of speech acts, in gender research, in social psychology etc. However, despite the obvious contribution of the scientists into … formation and development of politeness theory, Brown and Levinson’s research got a whole range of critical remarks and, thus, new approaches to studying this phenomenon were outlined (see Hymes (1986); Bordieu (1990, 1991); Watts (2003); Elen (2011), Ларина (2009) and others).

      In particular, the universal application of Grice’s Maxims (Grice 1975) and static perception of the process of interference were negatively received by some scientists. As a result, in response to such remarks the Relevance theory [Sperber, Wilson 1995] appears that tries to overcome the drawbacks of the previous theory. [Pizziconi 2006].

      Despite the fact that the basic ideas of the study of politeness were formed within the framework of the pragmatic approach it does not cover all the aspects of this particular phenomenon. Nowadays, the issue remains quite relevant. It is essential not only to specify the notion of politeness but also to consider the appearance and distribution of this speech norm and the boundaries of its variability within the context of different cultures. Further work on the issue of politeness is continued from the perspective of critical discourse analysis, Relevance theory; the analysis of empirical data also reveals new prospects for further researches [Pizziconi 2006].

    1. Hi Sonia, thank you for clicking into my blog and ask me this super basic question. so here is your answer dear.

      The theory of politeness suggests strategies in social interaction by which a person can use to save the hearer’s face upon the effect of face-threatening acts or FTAs. Face threatening acts are described by Brown and Levinson as the acts that infringe the hearer’s need of maintaining his/her self-esteem and be respected. Brown and Levinson accepted that the notion of face is respected as universal norms or values subscribed to by the members of the society. In that regard, this article provides a discussion about various viewpoints on the debate of universality of politeness theory and criticisms addressed by eastern-pragmaticists that this theory should not be seen as universally applicable. Cultural differences, as suggested by non-western pragmaticists, accord what is accepted in the context of face in western culture to be not accepted in other cultures. Therefeore, although we accept that Brown & Levinson’s theory has made a significant breakthrough in elaborating politeness, appropriation of this theory should be accounted in intercultural communication instead to accept it as universal.

    1. Hi cutie, thank you for clicking into my blog dear, so this is the answer

      The concept of face was derived from Chinese into English in the 19th century.[14] “Face” conceptualized as an individual’s positive claim of social values in socializing contact was introduced into academia by Erving Goffman through his theories of "face" and "facework".[14][15][7][8] According to Brown and Levinson's assumption in politeness theory based on Goffman's “face”, one's face is categorized into two forms: positive and negative.[16][3] Brown and Levinson defined positive face two ways: as "the want of every member that his wants be desirable to at least some others executors" (p. 62), or alternatively, "the positive consistent self-image or 'personality' (crucially including the desire that this self-image be appreciated and approved of) claimed by interactants" (p. 61).[17] Negative face was defined as "the want of every 'competent adult member' that his actions be unimpeded by others", or "the basic claim to territories, personal preserves, rights to non-distraction—i.e. the freedom of action and freedom from imposition".[17] Whereas positive face involves a desire for connection with others, negative face needs include autonomy and independence.[12]

      Ten years later, Brown characterized positive face by desires to be liked, admired, ratified, and related to positively, noting that one would threaten positive face by ignoring someone. At the same time, she characterized negative face by the desire not to be imposed upon, noting that negative face could be impinged upon by imposing on someone.[18] Positive face refers to one's self-esteem, while negative face refers to one's freedom to act.[1][19] These two aspects of face are the basic wants in any social interaction; during any social interaction, cooperation is needed amongst the participants to maintain each other's face.[1] Participants can do this by using positive politeness and negative politeness, which pay attention to people's positive and negative face needs respectively
