Abstract

With the development of online merchandise, more and more trades and deals are completed through online means via electronic devices. At the end of last century, Geoffrey Leech illustrated his Politeness Principles briefly known as six main maxims as “Tact, Generosity, Praise, Modesty, Agreement and Sympathy.” A typical phenomenon for current online merchandising is that excessive and abnormal politeness is used during the process of purchasing such as the using of “Dear” and this proposal is going to have a brief study of this phenomenon and manage to offer an explanatory answer to this phenomenon.
