Vietnam National University, Hanoi, 2012 The study presents an investigation in how politeness strategies are employed in requests in the movie series Harry Potter with the two main chapters. In chapter 1, some reviews on Speech Acts, Speech Act of Requesting, Politeness, Politeness strategies by Brown and Levinson (1987) are taken into careful consideration to serve as a good foundation for the data analysis and findings in the next chapter. Chapter 2 based on Brown and Levinson’s framework studies the politeness strategies in requests used by the characters in the movie series Harry Potter and points out how S-H relationship affects their choices of politeness strategies in making requests. The results show that the characters in the movies are more in favor of negative politeness strategies than positive ones in order to minimize the imposition on the hearers when making requests. Moreover, there is a variation of the proportion between positive and negative politeness strategies depending on the specific cases of social relationship. The study may serve as a good start for further study on politeness in general and politeness strategies in particular Electronic Resources |
