Estudos comparativos dos recursos de polidez na Língua Japonesa e na Língua Portuguesa.

Résumé

This article is based on a pilot questionnaire about the features of politeness in Japanese and Portuguese language spoken in Curitiba which was applied to Japanese expatriates with less than three years in Brazil and for Brazilian corporate employees. We intend to make a survey of politeness strategies used by speakers in order to classify, analyze and verify the differences and the degree of politeness of both languages.
