The use of English requests by native Spanish speakers and its relation to politeness values

There are different modes of interaction between speakers. Some of these differences reflect an individual style of speech behavior but very often, variation in interaction is deeply rooted in the sociocultural norms of speaking of the speaker and the hearer. Universal pragmatic principles, such as being cooperative or show politeness, exist in all languages and cultures but how these principles are manifested through the use of language is linguistically and culturally determined.
