Marks of courtesy: corrections and consensus-building strategies in the speech of Mérida

This study focusses on the rules of politeness of a spoken corpus, evidenced by the repairs of their transgression and also by speaker's intents to concert agreements between participants and evade conflict. We also inquired about the ideal sought through those norms: in positive politeness, that of a friendly person, who has knowledge of his/her language and evades inappropriate topics. In negative politeness, that of a person who defends, although gently, her own space and respects that of the others.
