FORMS OF POLITENESS WITHIN THE SPEECH ACT OF REQUESTING REGARDING THE PARAMETERS REGION AND AGE IN THE MONTENEGRIN LANGUAGE

Summary/Abstract: The question of politeness in language has been one of the most interesting in linguistic studies since the second half of the twentieth century, and as such has intrigued and motivated us to perform a reserch of the forms of the speech act of polite requests in the Montenegrin language system. Interesting and complex at the same time, primarily due to the intertwining of grammar, psychology, and sociolinguistics, the subject of the paper was a huge challenge and asked for both theoretical discussion and the discussion of the results obtained in practice. This paper presents the results of a research conducted on the speakers of the Montenegrin language with a special emphasis on the parameters region and age, with the objective to show whether the speakers of three Montenegrin regions and all age groups are equally likely to use more tentative language forms of the speech act of requesting.
