Application of politeness strategies in communicative interaction: on the example of the Turkish language
This article presents an analysis of courtesy strategies in Turkish: a direct strategy (without compensatory actions), positive politeness (strengthens solidarity and mutual understanding between the speaker and the hearer, using various means, such as compliments, intimate forms of appeals), negative politeness (the goal is avoidance of the encumbrance of the hearer, avoidance of a direct answer, diminutives) and a hidden strategy (the use of hints, metaphors or other means for deliberately imparting ambiguity spine). Analysis of data according to the model of Brown-Levinson showed that strategies of positive politeness prevail in Turkish society; a wide variety of forms of politeness demonstrates benevolence, solidarity and sympathy, reinforcing the group identity.
