Hi everyone,
One student emailed me yesterday still a bit confused about which case studies you can make reference to if a SITUATION question comes up and asks you to talk about POLITENESS or FACE.
Essentially...you already have loads of case studies which would fit a question like this. Any of your classroom transcripts, any courtroom scripts...George W Bush interview....lots of the ones from the POWER booklet (such as the vet in a variety of different circumstances), the Pharmacist transcript, the monty python dead parrot sketch, police transcripts...
All of these feature FACE strategies such as FTAs, consideration of positive face needs and negative face needs. Remember, politeness is just things like convergence, divergence, deference, turn taking, consideration of face needs etc.
Don't overthink it....just go back over your files and you will see the sheer amount of stuff you already have for this subject. All you need to do is highlight a couple of key quotes from each one and analyse/apply theory.
