MESTRE DE CARO, Pilar. Considerations on verbal politeness in the foreign language classroom: some examples in French and Spanish. Leng. [online]. 2013, vol.41, n.2, pp.407-426. ISSN 0120-3479.

Language uses reflect politeness. Based on the results of two researches developed in France and Colombia (Mestre, 2001, 2008) and on the analyses of several language interferences of Colombian speakers using French, this article shows that languages are not isomorphic, but have particular uses, which are deeply related to the cultural logics of each society. The problem of linguistic variation in the expression of politeness is approached by taking greetings and the use of the second person pronouns in French and Spanish as units of analysis, in order to understand the perceptions deployed towards pragmatic aspects in the French language class in the Colombian context. This article also relies on film data, since films are a valuable tool for the study of linguistic forms that describe a speech community. Therefore, the study of these issues aims to develop a contrastive view of languages / cultures, as well as the interaction between teachers and students concerning speech data as close (as possible) to real language usages

Palabras clave : verbal politeness; pragmatics; foreign languages didactics; conversational analysis.
