LEECH’S POLITENESS PRINCIPLES IN ARABIC INSTRUCTIONAL DIALOGUES: A PRAGMATIC ANALYSIS OF DURUS AL-LUGHAH LI GHAIRI AN-NATHIQINA BIHA VOLUME 2

Abstract

This study analyzes the application of Geoffrey Leech's politeness principles in conversations in Durus al-Lughah li Ghairi an-Nathiqina Biha Volume 2. The purpose is to identify six maxims and explain their communicative functions. Using a qualitative descriptive method, the findings show that sympathy, generosity, agreement, and approbation are dominant. The book not only supports language learning but also internalizes Arab social and cultural values.
