Seminar paper from the year 1999 in the subject English Language and Literature Studies Linguistics, grade: 1 (A), RuhrUniversity of Bochum (English Seminar), course: Proseminar: Pragmatics, language: English, abstract: Introduction In this paper we are going to deal with different theories concerning apology strategies. As there exists a variety of different theories, I chose just three of them for this paper. I will introduce their concepts, compare their differences and try to give a final evaluation of the three concepts. BlumKulka/Olshtain1 I will begin with the model of Shoshana BlumKulka and Elite Olshtain. They first of all classify apology as a speech act, name preconditions that are inevitable for an apology to take place and then list different strategy types. Apologie als a speech act: classification The apology belongs to the posteventacts, i.e. it signals that a certain type of event has already taken place. Moreover, the speaker recognizes the fact that a violation of a social norm has been committed and that the speaker is at least partially involved in its cause. The involvement means a loss of face (= face threatening) for the speaker and is hearersupportive.2 1 BlumKulka, S., Olshtain, E.; "Requests and Apologies: A CrossCultural Study of Speech Act Realization Patterns" in: Applied Linguistics, 5 / 1984.
