Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Humanities and Social Science - Year 2018, Vol 23, Issue 4
Abstract
The conception of face and its management differ across cultural boundaries, and the need for more empirical studies investigating its operation in other cultural milieu other than the Eurocentric setting has been identified in linguistic circles. The paper therefore investigated the nature of face work in Nigerian Pidgin radio discourse in order to evolve valid data and explanation on the dynamics of its operation in Nigerian pidgin radio discourse. It takes politeness beyond linguistic strategies only, to account for culturally motivated manifestations of politeness. Using the face co-constituting theoretical model, it accounts for default and nonce face management strategies in context. The findings revealed that politeness in the context of the radio discourse consist in both normative and strategic devices. Apart from the contextual inputs of formality of speech event, the presence of audience and the degree of liking between participants, the pivotal elements of topic/domain of discourse and its socio-cultural perception in discourse is established as essential to the certitude of politeness in context.
