My name is Ioanna Iosifelli and i am a greek student in a postgraduate  
programm of Applied Linguistics in the Faculty of the Greek language  
and literature in the University of Athens.
 
In the postgraduate programm we were teached in this semester a seminar  
in the field of "Pragmatics" and since i have been learning Arabic for  
4 years and i love this language very much, i decided the research  
field of my project in this seminar to be on the politeness (utterance)  
phenomenon in the greek and the arabic language. In other words i would  
like to make research on how politeness is uttered in the greek and in  
the arabic cultures, and to do a contrastive work between the two  
languages. Moreover i would like to specialise my work, if it was  
possible, in the use of the tenses for uttering politeness. (For  
example in the greek language we use past tenses for being more polite.  
I know that in the arabic language this doesn't exist, but maybe i  
could find something similar).
 
My aim by this mail is, if you could help me to find some bibliography  
(in Greek, English or German) about the utterance of politeness in the  
arabic language, or about the pragmatic approach of the tenses (past  
tense) in the arabic language.
 
I would really appreciate your help and i will be waiting for your  
answer.
