Abstract
Very little has been published on linguistic politeness in the Georgian language or culture. Rukhadze (2002) focused on address forms, drawing mainly on the theories of Brown and Levinson (1987) and Scollon and Scollon (2001). She was interested largely in a comparative analysis of face-saving strategies in Georgian and English. Her work, however, has been published only in Georgian and is not accessible to the majority of researchers in the field of politeness research. While Rukhadze was innovative in her analysis of the use of conventional politeness strategies, she did not make use of natural language data in her work. Nevertheless, she points to the crucial significance of in-groups and out-groups as defining concepts in Georgian culture.
