Decoding the implicitness of evaluative judgment in compliments (based on the cross-cultural analysis of conversations in male gender-homogeneneous groups). In this paper, the implicit (anti)compliments within male gender-homogeneneous groups are examined in a contrastive way. After reviewing some findings to the implicit compliments, the paper deals with a case study referring to decoding of implicit positive evaluative judgment, which constitutes a primary illocution of the compliment. The following study examines whether there are certain differences and similarities in the frequency, subject matter and phonological design of implicit (anti)compliments in [the] groups of males with different cultural backgrounds. The study also shows which contextualization cues can contribute to the decoding of the negative evaluative statement in implicit anticompliments.
In this paper, the explicit compliments within male gender-homogeneous groups are examined in a contrastive way. There are some findings in gender linguistics that notice a low frequency of this speech act in male groups and ascribe certain thematic priorities to them. Although it has been postulated that compliments men exchange have more to do with the evaluation of their performance and authority assertion, [the] male complimenting behavior is also seen as highly ambivalent. The following study examines whether there are certain differences and similarities in the frequency, subject matter, grammatical and phonological design of explicit compliments in [the] groups of males with different cultural backgrounds.
