| Описание: | The purpose of this work has been to study the mechanisms of civility in the XVI century. To this end, six speech acts (invitation, advice, request, plea, petition and mandate) have been analyzed in two corpus of differentiated letters: private letters to the Indies and Teresian letters. In these texts we have studied a total of 218 speech acts, analyzing: i) the expression and characteristics of the different speech acts; ii) the strategies of (un)courtesy and attenuating elements; iii) the variation of the courtesy in function of the interlocutors and the incidence of speech acts on the receiver's image. The speech act most used in the corpus is the petition. By constituting a potential threat to the relationship of the interlocutors, the requests are used with attenuators to mitigate the pressure on the recipient. This work aims to be a contribution to courtesy studies from the perspective of historical pragmatics. The results presented here correspond only to the letters that make up the study corpus. Only broader studies, covering a greater number of letters, and including more diastratic and diaphase varieties, will help to consolidate the observations made here and to complete the description of the mechanisms for using courtesy in the XVI century. |
