Abstract

The article focuses on indirect speech acts/ hints when requesting in the workplace and family setting. The data is analysed within the linguistic politeness framework and interactional approach. The analysis demonstrates discursive nature of indirectness: the meaning is constructed by both (all) participants, often through several turns. Recipient's and researcher's interpretations depend on local communication norms, contextual factors and relationships between participants.
