Abstract

This paper deals with aspects of intercultural communication and presents the theoretical basis for a study of linguistic politeness in the realization of requests in English with the aim of analyzing requests in intercultural business correspondence (Danish/English). The hypothesis is that Danes corresponding in English are lacking in pragmalinguistic and sociopragmatic competence.
