摘要
本文介绍了礼貌理论,比较了各种关于语言与性别关系的模式,并进而提出一种更合理的方法论来研究语言策略的性别差异。本文涉及的语料选自美国各大电视台的人物访谈节目,共选取八十套不同时间段录制的节目,根据采访者与受访者的性别分为四组进行研究分析,即每组有二十套不同的节目。观察和分析了访谈者面对不同性别的对话方采取的面子补救策略有何变化,这不同于以往只单纯统计男女各采用某种语言手段的数量的简单做法。
     语料分析主要针对行为策略和语言策略,前者包括赞扬,打断,请求等言语行为的实施,后者包括回馈语,模糊语,省略语,附加疑问句等语言形式。这些策略主要来源于布朗和列文森的礼貌理论,特别是面子补救策略,同时借鉴了其他语言学家的研究成果。
     性别和其他语境因素同为变量,共同决定访谈者在表达礼貌时采用何种礼貌策略。要达到礼貌交际的目的,语境是关键,而语境由许多因素组成,性别因素只位列其一。
After the introduction of politeness theory and the comparison of different models of language and gender, this paper proposes a more feasible methodology to analyze the gender differences in the employment of politeness strategies. Eighty interviews collected from American TV talk shows are analyzed in four dyads according to the gender of the interviewer and interviewee that may have been involved. When interacting with the different gender, the interlocutors’variation in face-saving strategies has been observed and analyzed. This excels the common practices in which only a simple counting was made of the frequency of occurrences of a linguistic form.
     The collected data are analyzed with special focus on behaviour strategies as seen in the performance of such speech acts as compliments, interruptions and requests, and linguistic strategies such as minimal responses, hedges, ellipsis and tag questions. Brown and Levinson’s politeness theory and especially the face-saving strategies are the main source of the mentioned politeness strategies. The research results of other linguists have also been used as a reference in the analysis process.
     Gender, along with other contextual variables, determines the employment of politeness strategies chosen by the interlocutors in expressing politeness. The achievement of polite communication relies on the context which consists of various factors, gender being only one of them.
