“…Furthermore, this research has shown that Imams use combinations of politeness strategies in their progressive negotiation of their own face and that of the congregations. This supports earlier studies (Jansen & Janssen, 2010;Manno, 1999) which find that combination of politeness strategies are used in business letters and refusal letters to job applicants, and Brown and Gilman (1989) who collapse the two strategies. In addition, the research shows that the notion of face in Yorùbá culture appears to tend towards that of Chinese and Japanese; it is a collective culture (Gu, 1990;Ide, 1989;Lin, 2005;Mao, 1994).…”

This paper investigated the use of im/politeness in Muslim sermons or Khutbahs. The study attempts to show that the Muslim sermon, in its aim to impart various types of religious information to the congregation, is a communicative event that is capable of generating ill-feelings among its various audiences. The Imam is thus expected to make strategic use of politeness elements in his delivery or risk compromising the efficacy of the sermon. To identify these elements, a modified version of Brown and Levinson's (1987) model of politeness was used as an analytical framework. Using naturally occurring data collected from Friday sermons, the study shows that the Imams used several politeness strategies identified in the Brown and Levinson model. Furthermore, the inclusion of data comprising sermons delivered in Yorùbá adduced evidence of the influence of the Yorùbá culture in the linguistic politeness practices of the Imams. In addition, it is shown that although the Imams used the traditional Face Threatening Acts (FTAs), these largely amount to ‗conventional aggression' (Harris, 2001)or ‗unmarked FTAs' (Dynel 2015). The study concluded that the Imams were characteristically polite in their delivery, and politeness is an important feature in a religious discourse such as the Friday sermon.

“…in letters where one might expect refusals to occur frequently. Manno (1999) gives many examples of those strategies in his corpus of French-Swiss job refusals. And Kok (1993) found combinations of two or more positive strategies in all of the letters in a corpus of 31 Dutch job refusals.…”

“…Certains énoncés laudatifs dans les deux corpus apparaissent sous forme de macro-actes de langage dans lesquels un ou plusieurs compliments explicites (actes dominants) sont accompagnés d'autres types d'actes de langage, des modalisateurs externes (Thaler, 2008 : 206), supportive moves (Blum-Kulka et. al., 1989), ou actes subsidiaires (Manno, 1999), employés pour modifier les compliments proprement dits (actes dominants). Ces modalisateurs se placent avant ou après les actes dominants et servent soit à renforcer soit à adoucir les valeurs illocutoires et relationnelles des actes dominants.…”
