Description
Summary:This research analyzes the selected text for the pragmatic study in the light of the concept of Face, which its model developed by Brown and Levinson in 1978 in the context of the theoretical principles of politeness. It is taken from two angles; one is concerned with the speaker and the strategies he has chosen to select the positive and negative faces targeted by his threats and then the strategies that he has diversified his successive threats on. The research then moves on to analyze the strategies of the addressee that he creates in order to repel or mitigate those threats or their damage to the speaker's face. Keeping the addressees in line with the speaker has emerged in his strategies by threatening him with some similar strategies or mitigating it in their attempts to preserve their faces, which made the interactive speech maneuver a conflict maneuver in which the speaker lost it to the outspoken man in his defense of the two aspects of his face and returned the attack on both aspects of the speaker's face, while addressing the female, who has successive positive politeness strategies through, he exchanged her with strategies to mitigate threats and remedy the risks to accomplish his quest to make her a victim for irony, he had passed through the strategy of negative politeness (praising).
