【摘要】 本文采用语言学理论，对法庭辩论中律师使用的礼貌策略进行研究，旨在发现主要的礼貌策略和其语言实现形式，并揭示礼貌策略对律师在法庭辩论中实现最终的劝说目的所起的作用。 根据Brown和Levinson的面子保全理论，我们在汉、英法庭辩论的语料中辨别出三种礼貌策略：积极礼貌策略，消极礼貌策略和非公开的礼貌策略。研究表明，尽管中美法庭辩论在语言和法律制度上有所不同，但其礼貌策略的使用却存在很大的相似性。中美律师在法庭辩论中最常用的是消极礼貌策略，其次是积极礼貌策略和非公开的礼貌策略；律师最常用的实现礼貌的语言形式依次是：模糊限制语、说话人和听话人非个人化、提供原因、表达尊重、设问以及把说话人和听话人都包括在同一项活动中等。 此外，详细的分析还表明，法庭辩论中使用礼貌策略与日常对话中使用礼貌策略所发挥的作用并不相同。律师使用礼貌策略并不仅只是协调人际关系；律师通过礼貌策略能够与法官或陪审团建立融洽的关系，从而更好地实现最终的劝说目的。 我们希望，本文的研究能够有助于加深对礼貌策略的了解，认识礼貌对于实现劝说的作用；有助于律师更好地利用礼貌策略，从而使自己的法庭辩论更具有说服力。更多还原

【Abstract】 The present study probes into the politeness phenomenon of court arguments with linguistic politeness as the focus. It aims to find out the main linguistic means realizing politeness and investigates how linguistic politeness strategies contribute to the final persuasion in court arguments.Based on Brown and Levinson’s face management model as the theoretical framework and Chinese and English court arguments as the data, we find out three politeness strategies in court arguments. They are: positive politeness strategy, negative politeness strategy and off record strategy. The research reveals that linguistic politeness in arguments in American courts shares great similarities with that in Chinese courts; negative politeness strategies are most frequently employed by lawyers, followed by positive politeness strategies and off record strategies. It is also found that such linguistic means as hedge, impersonalize S and H, give reasons, give deference, rhetorical questions and include both S and H in the activity are most favored by Chinese and American lawyers.Besides, detailed analysis suggests that the function of the politeness strategies used in court arguments is different from that in ordinary discourses. The employment of those strategies by lawyers is not just a lubricant of human relationship. Through the contribution of the politeness strategies to rapport establishment with the judge or jury, lawyers can accomplish better persuasion, which is their end purpose in court arguments.This thesis may deepen the understanding of linguistic politeness and persuasion in court arguments. It is also hoped that lawyers can conduct court arguments more powerfully when they know more about linguistic politeness and make proper use of it.更多还原
