Όλα τα τεκμήρια στο ΕΑΔΔ προστατεύονται από πνευματικά δικαιώThe present study aims to investigate, analyze and interpret the realization patterns of requests used in Ancient Greece during the 5th century BCE according to the empirical field of historical pragmatics. The speech act in question has been analyzed following Brown and Levinson’s (1987) politeness theory. The data for the study were collected from selected ancient Greek tragedies written by Aeschylus, Sophocles and Euripides focusing on their pragmatic structures and the dialogues contained in them. These classical dramas have been frequently studied, performed and translated around the world. Therefore, it is very essential to approach and understand the original texts as carefully as possible. This task includes selecting the most proper, faithful, representative translations in modern Greek language and analyzing them alongside the past texts, in order to detect and categorize the linguistic choices made by different speakers with regard to the speech act of requests. To do so, we used codings and methods drawn from modern linguistics. The results obtained show that the performance of requests is usually motivated by the social power that speaker has, his goals, his social distance from the interlocutor or by the nature of the social situation (e.g. if there is an urgent need). The dramatic purposes of each tragedian are also very important for the chosen level of (in)directness in certain requests. Furthermore, the results show a preference for direct requests strategies usually accompanied and modified by expressions of solidarity, intimacy or affection. Thus, with respect to Brown and Levinson’s “positive” and “negative” politeness distinction, this study shows that the politeness norm of ancient Greek society seems to have a positive orientation expressing involvement and immediacy, as it also happens in modern years.
