    A Pragmatic Analysis of Compliment Responses in Syrian Arabic
    Kassem, Farah; Tóth, Enikő; Hodeib, Christina; DE--Bölcsészettudományi Kar
    The aim of this study is to investigate how power relations might affect compliment responses among speakers of Syrian Arabic. The current study collected a sample of 768 compliment responses using a discourse completion task based on a modified version of a DCT by Lorenzo-Dus (2001) and was distributed online among 64 speakers of Syrian Arabic. The responses were categorized by applying Nelson et al. (1996) classification scheme and analyzed using Brown and Levinson’s (1987) Model of Politeness, Leech’s (1983) Politeness Principle, and Pomerantz’s (1978) Principles as frameworks to discuss the results. The findings of this study showed that the most common strategy is acceptance, this strategy was most popular when the compliment was offered by someone in a higher power position. Mitigations, on the other hand, were most commonly used when the complimenter was in a lower power position, while rejections were mainly common with equals. The study also highlights some culture-specific strategies, for example, offering the complimented object to the complimenter, tendencies to use humorous praise upgrades, and the evil eye effect when it comes to compliments

    Advice Giving in Hungarian: The Effects of Power, Distance and the Sensitivity of theTopic
    Ugrai, Viktória; Hodeib, Christina; DE--Bölcsészettudományi Kar
    This paper investigates the linguistic realization of the speech act of advice as produced by native speakers of Hungarian. Thirty-nine female university students participated in this study which was conducted using a Discourse Completion Test (DCT). The data were analyzed within the framework of Brown and Levinson (1978/87) and Locher (2006/2012). The results show that out of all the linguistic forms, declarative forms are the most frequent, and out of all the discursive move types, assessments are the most frequent. Moreover, linguistic forms in Hungarian are influenced by social variables, such as social distance (D), power (P) and absolute ranking (R) of imposition. While with higher power addressees, the participants used imperatives less, they used them freely with equal power addressees and even with more distant addressees, who were still of equal power. In regards to imposition, while generally the participants used imperatives even in more sensitive situations, they would use them rarely in higher power addressee situations. The participants used assessment moves in any situation, while they held reservations on using advice in more severe situations, referrals were commonly used in situations that could require the advisees giving phone numbers or addresses in any situation be it to higher or lower power addressees.

    Analysing the Effect of Power and Imposition on Request and Politeness in Hungarian
    Conforti, Miriam; Hodeib, Christina; DE--Bölcsészettudományi Kar
    This thesis examines the most common request and politeness strategies used in the Hungarian language and investigates how social variables of power and ranking of imposition, impact these preferences. The study also explores whether positive or negative politeness is preferred in Hungarian and how these tendencies can be explained based on social variables. The research is motivated by the fact that different cultures have distinct ways of expressing speech acts and politeness. Although there is extensive research on request strategies across languages, there has been relatively little research on Hungarian, especially compared to English. This study aims to contribute to the existing literature by examining the specific ways in which politeness and requests are conveyed in Hungarian, with a focus on university students as a new sample of participants. The research questions are designed to identify the most frequently used request and politeness strategies and explore how social variables impact these preferences. The findings of this study are expected to provide insights into how language is used in different cultures to navigate social relationships and power dynamics during interactions.

    Impoliteness in Social Media: A case study of Algerian Arabic Facebook comments
    M'rah , Djihan; Hodeib, Christina; DE--Bölcsészettudományi Kar
    The study investigates impoliteness in Facebook comments responding to a post about Algerian athlete Imane Khelif. The research aims to identify the most common impoliteness strategies present in the comments by using Culpeper's (2011) framework. The study also aims to explain the relationship between impoliteness and morality since, in such cases, impoliteness is used as a correction mechanism for perceived violation of moral order.

    A Multi-perspective Analysis of Politeness in Syrian Arabic
    (2022) Hodeib, Christina; Kardos, Éva; Nyelvtudományok doktori iskola; DE--Bölcsészettudományi Kar -- Angol Nyelvészeti Tanszék
    This dissertation examines the metapragmatic conceptualizations, expression, and perceptions of politeness in Syrian Arabic, through the lens of the apology speech act. It shows that politeness has both language-specific and universal characteristics, that it is a discursively expressed co-constructed effort between speaker and hearer, and that perceptions of politeness among native speakers of Syrian Arabic in relation to the apology speech act are tied to contextual factors such as the (in)sincerity of the apology. Based on these findings, it is suggested that politeness facts in Syrian Arabic are best captured by third-wave politeness theories.
