“面子威胁行为”估算公式的预测能力——一项基于中国大学生的请求言语行为的研究外国语言学及应用语言学专业论文.docxVIP

PAGE PAGE IV III III 摘要 工具包括一份五级量表（5-point Scale-response Questionnaire）和一份情景填充 问卷（Discourse Completion Task）。五级量表用来测量每个言语行为的高/低困 扰程度，情景填充问卷用来获得研究所需数据。预测值（We）和实测值（Wo）的 相关性检验通过 SPSS 11.5 来分析。另外，配对 T 检验和方差分析也被应用来检 验三个变量 D、P、R 的作用。 研究结果表明该公式在预测礼貌策略的使用上是一个有效的工具。然而， 三个变量的作用是不平衡的：说话者与受话者之间的距离越远，说话者的语言越 礼貌；请求行为的困扰程度越高，说话者的语言越礼貌；但受话者的社会地位的 高低并没有对说话者的礼貌策略产生显著影响。 关 键 词：面子威胁行为，礼貌策略，预测值，实测值 论文类型：应用研究 Abstract Subject: Predictability of the Formula of “Computing the Weightiness of FTA”: A Study of Chinese College Students’ Request Behaviors Specialty: Foreign Linguistics and Applied Linguistics Name: Supervisor: ABSTRACT In everyday life, people carry out a series of speech acts, such as requests, apologies, compliments, and refusals, to express their needs or ideas. Among these speech acts, requests are apparently the simple and everyday use (Craig et.al.,1986). In the Western literature, the speech act of Request by definition is a face-threatening act (FTA). In order to mitigate the unavoidable imposition caused by performing such a FTA, various politeness strategies are adopted (Brown Levinson, 1987; Leech, 1983) and the abundant linguistic forms available on the realization of request behavior manifest itself the complexity of the association of forms, meaning and social relationships between interlocutors (Blum-Kulka et al, 1989:11). Brown and Levinson (1987) put forward the formula “Wx =D (S, H) +P (H, S) + Rx” to calculate the weightiness of face-threatening acts. However, Brown and Levinson’s theory has been criticized on many fronts since it was proposed. The following shows two criticisms that appear to be the most important. The first criticism of Brown and Levinson’s theory is that their model of politeness is ethnocentric, deriving “directly from the high value based on individualism in Western culture” (Kasper, 1990:252-253). As a result, its claim of universality is cast in doubt. The second criticism of Brown and L
