Abstract

As a pervasive phenomenon in human communication, politeness has been one of the key issues discussed by pragmatists. Through the analysis of politeness strategies and maxims in Fortress Besieged by Chien Chung-shu, this thesis intends to show that people are likely to use vivid, pleasant and indirect expressions for something they think unpleasant or in embarrassing situations, to make their communications more enjoyable and relationship more harmonious.
