Cross-cultural dimensions of politeness in the case of Polish and English, 1999

The subject of the present study is the verbal realization of polite speech acts, namely greetings, farewells, thanks, apologies, compliments, congratulations, good wishes, toasts, and condolences. The main aim of the study is to provide a pragmatic contrastive analysis of polite verbal behaviour in Polish and English, stressing the most striking differences and similarities in the form and content of the polite formulae used in particular contexts. The analysis was carried out to assist the author in answering the following questions: To what extent does polite verbal behaviour differ in these two languages? Where and why does it differ? Where can the greatest difference be perceived?

It was mentioned that the ability to establish a positive relationship between the members of international crews is an urgent issue. This ability influences not only the safety of navigation, but the mental health of seafarers as well. Foreign language competence is essential for the resolution of this problem. Successful everyday communication of seafarers depends on a number of factors: the awareness of cross-cultural, religious and cross-generational differences will help establish a friendly communication onboard a ship with an international crew.

Our study empirically proved that the ability of mutual communication between different age groups facilitates the establishment of friendly relationships onboard a ship. A psychological insight into the peculiarities of different generations helped us see the process of communication of seafarers in a new light. We outlined the main values of differe...

The subject of this paper is to present the results of the study detailing the essence of the value concept ‘honor’ within the framework of English, German and Russian language cultures as a reflection of the basic values of society in the today’s linguistic world. The methods of the research were theoretical analysis of the works of philologists and pedagogues on the structure and essence of the value concept ‘honor’ as a synergetic unity of the two notions. The component analysis of dictionary definitions and their subsequent step-by-step identification is given. A review of various treatments of ‘honor’ is suggested, ranging from ‘respect’, ‘reputation’, ‘faith’, ‘mark of approval’, ‘creditable’ to ‘dishonor’, ‘discredit’, ‘shame’, ‘ill repute’ and so on. An attempt is made to characterize ‘honor’ as one of the axiological concepts and a socially and culturally conditional pattern of approval/disapproval.
