摘　　要：以Brown＆Levinson的礼貌理论(1987)为依据,以"语篇补全测试"(贾玉新,1997)为工具,调查"道歉"语言行为男女性别的表达模式与社会因素之间的关系。调查数据表明男生的道歉言语行为基本上符合Brown＆Levinson的面子理论,他们的道歉与行为的难易程度、社会权力、社会关系相关。但女生的道歉言语行为受社会因素影响较小,她们则更注重维系良好的社会关系,因此不管社会关系和地位差异如何,女生的道歉大多是针对与他们地位相同的亲人和朋友。Much of the cross-cultural research into the speech acts has focused on the phenomenon of non-native communicative competence and less on crosscultural data for their own sake.This paper is an attempt at a more detailed analysis of a small portion of data from a corpus of Chinese written responses to a discourse completion test (DCT),with the goal of highlighting gender differences in the realizations of apologetic responses that can be found not only in the distribution and choice of strategies but also in the contents and in the choices of linguistic forms.It is believed that such a detailed analysis sheds light on highlighting the contrast differences in cultural communicative styles and will be ultimately helpful in understanding different cultural values and assumptions concerning interpersonal conducts in English and Chinses.
