Abstract:Foreign trade English Correspondence is a true reflection of the foreign trade activities, and serves to fulfill a specific business intention. Courteous English letters help to establish a corporate image, enhance communication and promote cooperation; on the contrary, impolite letters will cause the other party’s resentment and result in failure in transactions. Politeness has been enjoying great popularity among sociolinguists and pragmatic scientists. There are a great number of relevant theories and research, among which Brown and Levinson’s Face Theory is the most influential. The theory includes three basic concepts: face, face threatening acts and face saving strategies. They believe that face is the personal image of a rational and normal individual with communicative competence; face can either be won or be lost; there are positive face and negative face, and accordingly there are positive politeness strategy and negative politeness strategy to save the face. Based on Face Theory and through analyzing various examples, this thesis will discuss how to employ positive politeness strategy and negative politeness strategy in convivial, collaborative, competetive and conflictive foreign trade correspondence writing, in order to avoid face threatening acts and allow business correspondence to achieve more effective communication.
