| dc.description | Brown & Levinson's and Locher & Watts's frameworks have been used widely to analyse politeness. They are however not without any criticisms. One criticism is their leaning toward Western perspective which leads to unsatisfactory reading of the culture analyzed through these two frameworks. This sets the purpose of this study which is to analyze politeness in a non-western culture by comparing the use of these two theories while seeking a new method of analysis to counter the theoretical limitation of the models. To achieve these objectives, the study focused on the politeness features of invitations to meals in Jordanian culture. The speech event was chosen because of its sociolinguistic uniqueness which the two frameworks may not be able to capture. To discover the adequacy of the two frameworks in this speech event in the Jordanian culture, a qualitative method in the form of semi-structured interviews and role-plays were adopted. Grounded approach was applied to the data that were elicited from 60 students in three Jordanian universities. The findings show that analyzing the speech act of invitation to a meal in the Jordanian culture using the two established frameworks did not adequately reflect the sociolinguistic features of the speech act in this culture. Using the grounded approach, a new framework that consists of five analytical variables which are culture, context, relationship, ongoing interaction, and positive and negative strategies to explain the patterns is suggested. This new framework also introduces three methods to be used in the analysis which are method of constructing speech by speaker, method of analysing speech by hearer and investigator of politeness, and method of reconstruction speech by hearer. The model is called the Jordanian Politeness Model. Using this new model, the study finds that Jordanians use four main features of invitations to meals, three features of acceptance, and three features of rejection. One important inviting feature is that Jordanians prefer inviters who insist on the invitees accepting the invitation, and this insistence is considered polite. Accepting the invitation directly is regarded as impolite. One of the frequent responding features that Jordanians preferred is rejecting invitation indirectly with reasons. The empirical results of the study would provide new insights and reformation into future linguistic politeness researches of invitations in the Arab world and serve as baseline data for future researchers.,Certification of Master's/Doctoral Thesis" is not available | - |
