“…Nevertheless, Culpeper (2011) described identity as a 'self-schema' while Benwell and Stokoe (2006) regarded culture to be an important factor which influenced identity. Besides, Constantin and Rautz (2003) believed in the diversity of one's identity and how it could manifest variously based on context of practice.…”

The purpose of this research is to study how and why two TV presenters in similar contexts can manifest similar and/or different linguistic styles. In order to achieve this purpose, the researcher investigates how the two presenters of the Islamic TV program 'Al-Maweza Al Hasana'. (i.e., presenter A and presenter B) exploit linguistic techniques to perform and/or mitigate Face Threatening Acts (FTAs) which are directed against the phone-in callers (e.g., FTAs of criticisms, requests, advice and warnings). Therefore, this research focuses on pragmatic theories in order to examine politeness strategies which each presenter uses to maintain the callers' face, and whether those strategies clash with clarity of the information conveyed. This study relies on Brown and Levinson's Politeness Model (1987) and Grice's Cooperative principle (1975, 1989).The data are ten phone-ins between random callers and the two presenters of the TV program. The phone-ins are selected based on similarity of topic (e.g., inheritance and doing good to one's kith and kin). The results of the study showed that the two presenters shared some linguistic choices, such as preferring positive politeness and off-record strategies. However, unlike presenter B, presenter A used a powerful language by performing dangerous FTAs towards the callers, which made his mitigation strategies less effective. On the other hand, presenter B maintained the caller's face more successfully as he avoided dangerous FTAs, and he mitigated minor FTAs with various redressing strategies. Finally, regardless of the different linguistic preferences of each presenter, clarity and honesty of the information conveyed remained an essential characteristic in their interactions.

Renewed interest in the relationship between music education and cultural identity draws its vigor from strongly divergent sources. Globalized education and globalized musical culture supply new paradigms for understanding the central tasks of music education and their responsibility to a multicultural ethic of diversity, hybridity and difference. Yet recent anthropological studies of musical cognition and development emphasise both the centrality of ethnic and cultural particularism to the formation of musical awareness and the transcultural, factors in which such particularism is embedded. These seemingly contrasting perspectives on the relationship of music to culture and identity offer a fertile context for redefining the place of music education in the curriculum.
