日语下对上赞美的礼貌策略研究

赞美应遵循"真诚性"原则,但在日语语用实践中,常常出现下级乐于对上级真诚赞美却弄巧成拙的情况。从"礼貌策略理论"角度究其因,是缘于"评价式表扬"的肆意发挥,而忽视了"欣赏式赞美"才是下对上赞美的利器,以致无法达到赞美的"愉悦性"原则。

Research on Japanese Politeness Strategy of Compliments from Subordinates to Superiors

In this case, the pleasantness principle of compliments could not be achieved.
