| 520 | |b To sum up, whether men are more or less polite than women are still continues to attract the interest of researchers in the field of sociolinguistics, despite the fact that a large number of studies have been done on gender and politeness. Factors such as social distance, power and urgency play key roles in the level of directness/indirectness, and thus in determining how polite an utterance is. However, an attempt has been made in this research paper to shed some light on whether gender differences, such as those identified by major scholars in the field, materialize in accordance with some of Leech’s politeness maxims used by Syrian learners of English. To achieve this, two questionnaires were given to female and male participants in order to see their responses to particular situations in English. Three politeness maxims are addressed: the Tact Maxim, the Approbation Maxim and the Modesty Maxim. Each maxim has two sub-maxims and thus the questionnaires give a situation implying each maxim. \ The data analysis shows that female participants, in general, are closer than the male participants to choosing the English maxim answers. This seems to be in line with Xi’s (2007, pp. 17-18) assertion that women “perform better in applying Politeness Principles.” The Arabic responses show that the females use more expressions that reveal that they are more polite, indirect and sympathetic than the male participants are. While the findings of this research paper can in no way be generalised, one can argue that they shed light on Syrian society, which follows the general, extensively used rule that women are more polite than men in most conversational situations. | ||
