Sex Differences and Apologies: One Aspect of Communicative ...

0.00 (0 votes)
Document Description
This paper examines sex differences in the distribution of apologies in order to illuminate the complexity of the language learner's task in acquiring communicative competence. Apologies express negative politeness. They signal the speaker's awareness of having impinged on the hearer's negative face and restricted her/his freedom of action in some way. A corpus of apologies permits an analysis of the range of strategies used by New Zealanders for expressing this aspect of negative politeness as well as the distributional patterns for women and men.
