AB This dissertation endeavors to describe politeness theory – depicting its characteristics,defining their strategies and illustrating those with examples – to show the importance politeness has in everyday-life conversations. To this end, Brown and Levinson’s politenesstheory (1987) is used to justify the definition of politeness strategies, providing the initialclassification for the analysis to be done. These theoretical definitions are illustrated withthe examples of speech taken from the script of Love Actually, which provides the communicative acts’ cases. Then, the characterization of the movie’s characters is explained through the different politeness examples found in the analysis so as to highlight the importance of politeness in our communicative performances.
