Since l970s, from the perspective of pragmatics of politeness phenomena have done a lot of research, published many thoughtful research results, this paper puts forward some wealthy effect of politeness theory. So far, the research of politeness is the most influential strange based on conversational maxims put forward with the politeness principle and brown and based on the face of the concept of levinson conversational implication "face management theory" or "face preservation theory". In discussing pragmatics concept, richie special emphasis on the function of context, but the politeness principle and pragmatic hierarchy is out of context, the key lies in the discourse of propositional content and expressions. He thinks discourse content by loss and whist decision, but the words of expression is refers to direct language and indirect language. This paper argues that propositional content and expression way at most can only decide language politeness, cannot decide discourse polite. Politeness is absolute, language from the context, do not have communicative price: discourse politeness is relative and dependent upon context, with communication value. Discourse polite absoluteness is opposite; Discourse polite relativity is absolute.
Pragmatic distance principle can be reasonably explain language use phenomenon, and solved the pragmatic circles long exist some fuzzy theoretical question, because mutual communication between the pragmatic distance, they are not necessarily the same in concrete communication process is sometimes polite (i.e. no manners or impolite). Politeness is communication between the two words of pragmatic distance is based on. Pragmatic distance principle that language manners in specific communication is also very important. Communication with a certain topic with the other communication, sensation and infers the with each other between the pragmatic intimate degree low, then language is necessary, but not polite particularly important. Discourse polite pragmatic distance principle requires us to best use polite language, so that the most effectively completed the current communication tasks. This paper is the tenet of lies
1.2 pragmatic distance characteristics
Discourse polite pragmatic distance principle, there are two basic concepts, Pragmatic distance and discourse polite. So-called pragmatic distance, refers to the communicators in specific events, with the aid of communication special language expression expression of each other's intimate degree. Any communicative behavior which used in the discourse are reflects communication between the two sides pragmatic distance. Pragmatic distance can be divided into former pragmatic distance and pragmatic application distance. Former pragmatic distance is communication occurs before by the communicator between presumption of perception and the pragmatic distance, Communicative language using distance is to point to in specific communication events in expressing the pragmatic to each other at a distance.
Pragmatic distance has two basic characteristics: changeability and can be the co ultation sex. So-called variability, refers to the pragmatic distance is constantly changing and not constant. Even in particular communication process, pragmatic distance rarely in constant state. So-called can the co ultation sex, refers to the pragmatic distance in verbal communication is can have a mutual communication consultation.
