中国大学生拒绝邀请的礼貌策略

Politeness Strategies of Invitation Refusals by Chinese University Students

语言中的性意识是一种普遍存在的现象 ,它蕴含着语言使用者的文化心理、社会价值取向 ,并反映出社会规范与民俗心态。对中国大学生拒绝邀请的礼貌策略的性别差异的调查和研究 ,支持了为 Brown和 L evinson的关于消极礼貌和面子威胁行为的观点 。

Gender awareness in language is a universal phenomenon. It implies the user's cultural psychology and his views of social value. It also indicates the social norm and the folk custom of user's environment. The experiment to analyze invitation refusals between different sexes conducted on Chinese College students supported the views of negative politeness and face threatening acts identified by Brown and Levinson. The findings in the experiment indicated that Chinese society is mainly a negative politeness culture.
