SORU TÜMCELERİ ÜZERİNDEN NEZAKET STRATEJİSİ KURMA
BUILDING A POLITENESS STRATEGY THROUGH QUESTIONS

Summary/Abstract: Communication is the most important feature of language. It shows individual and social characteristics and expresses the information transfer of speakers. There are ways that people need to follow to establish communication, maintain it correctly and effectively, and even terminate it in a healthy way. Politeness is put forward as a type of individual and social dignity and plays an active role in communication. Many studies and theories already exist on this topic Most feature Grice's Principles of Cooperation, and include work by Lakoff, Leech, Brown, and Levinson. They care about protecting the mutual dignity of the two important elements of communication (i.e., the faces of the speaker and the listener), and look out for the benefit and satisfaction of the listener and including strategies for this. Using their research, we wish to propose a new politeness strategy that includes speaker-based, listener-based, speaker and listener-based strategies, as well as questions, as people widely use them to express politeness. We aim to re-categorize Turkish questions by re-evaluating their structure, function and semantics. We propose that pragmatic questions aren’t answered out of function alone – given how closely tied they are with politeness. In doing so, we shall explore various politeness strategies because they are necessary for effective communication – in light of current question theory and observe how Turkish forms (or can form) question-oriented sentences.
