Wybrane akty grzeczności w podręcznikach do nauczania języka indonezyjskiego. Część 2

Abstract

This article focuses on selected acts of politeness present in three English textbooks for teaching Indonesian at the elementary level. The study concerns speech acts of thanks, apologies and wishes as well as forms of address and honorific pronouns. The structures found are mostly schematic and only slightly culturally charged (cultural determinants are most clearly visible in the case of forms of address and honorific pronouns). Textbooks’ authors basically omit linguistic measures which represent the everyday variety of Indonesian and are used during informal contact.
