| dc.description.abstract | 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. | |
