Some Specifics on FTAs and Responses to Them in Georgian: a Cross-Gender Perspective

Abstract

This paper examines research investigating gender-different responses to Face-Threaten­ing Acts in speech acts in Georgia. The speech acts under analysis in this paper are ex­tracts from actual Georgian interactions. The research is conducted only on cross-gender conversations. Surveys based on quantitative comparisons have been made on a social network for additional support of the results.
