Politeness
I am going to use the tree that was drawn on the board in class to see if I know the different types of politeness
Wanting someone to turn down the radio
1) You can either Say something or Say nothing (either point to your ear and make and face or you could use your hand to make the motion of turning down the volume
2) If you say something it is either on the record or a hint (Wow you really like to listen to your music loudly)
3) If you say something on the record it can either be bald ( I am not quite sure what this means) or it can be face-saving
4) If it is face-saving it can either be positive politeness (turn down the music I can concentrate) or it can be negative politness (could you please turn down your music a little bit?)
Did I do these correctly? Could you help me with a bald statement?
