Although they sound similar, positive politeness and negative politeness are quite
different. Positive politeness refers to the second most direct strategy for committing a
face-threatening act. It emphasizes the receiver’s positive face needs--the desire to be
liked and appreciated. Thus, positive politeness is likely to include compliments, flattery
or other forms of ingratiation. Negative politeness is a slightly less direct and more polite
strategy. It emphasizes the target’s negative face needs--the desire to be free and
independent. In this case, negative politeness is likely to include apologies, regret, and
the appearance of embarrassment as making the FTA. Examples will vary by student
and should clearly indicate the difference between positive and negative face.
