According to oxford’s dictionary, politeness is showing behaviour that is respectful and considerate of other people. “Politeness theory is based on the concept that people have a social self-image that they consciously project and try to protect” (Garcia, 2014). Firstly, the theory of politeness was expressed by Penelope Brown and Stephen Levinson in 1978. Brown and Levinson also defined negative and positive faces. As they were the initiators of the politeness theory their concept played a very important role in my research. In addition, there are many other people who were interested in this field. Therefore, the purpose of the sources review is to examine the academic context. This literature review will help to understand the basic theories and develop a deeper knowledge about this field.
