courtesy Considerations in Mexico. Variations of the questionnaire

questionnaires in the seventies I applied, I found that while responses fit the criteria that the development of this standard, I felt that it should consider two abstract languages \u200b\u200bthat change the meaning of the responses.

is the first language I call "pitch." In Mexico and especially the area known as "Mesoamerica", how to speak English is mild, influenced by the Nahuatl language, which dominated the area. The Nahuatl language is a very sweet intonation feature a softer pace stretching the last syllable, hence to say that in Mexico speak "Cantaditas", if I'm wrong, I appreciate the guidance of Mr. Marcelino Hernández. Not so in the northern region, where we feel they speak very "beaten" and that this area of \u200b\u200bNahuatl influence was minimal and the same is true of the English spoken by immigrants from the mainland.

A English can pronounce the words "please" in the tone that is used in Spain and it seems impolite. Mexicans use the softer tone and sometimes the diminutive "by small favor" is more often use words such as average response gave me a student of senior high school level, "allow me porfa" a phrase that only Mexico understand.
This gives us an idea that the polite form we use in Mexico is coupled with the tone of voice.

The second is the body language and facial. On many occasions our Language is reinforced by our attitude toward the person we go putting a smile in the mouth or making a small bow, and in some cases with suggestive hand movements. In the example given above "allow me porfa" if we say it with a smile that makes us more polite if the stern face told us the whole word, then the validity of the "An act worth a thousand words."

I appreciate the comments on this post.

result of the above can be established that:

B) His age varies in the range d) 25-44, but not the informant is in strip
e)

not omit to mention that at the end of the questionnaire informants, even those who responded
variants, wanted to know the results of the surveys, I asked some questions such as:

much I took in courtesy?

Tell me, I'm an educated person?

Another aspect was the interest of the informants in the field, as others had responded to surveys that were on topics of economics, politics, migration etc. in such a way that it was the first time participating in a project of habits of use of certain words of English.

1.The other answers.

1.1.Muestra Sevilla.

1.1.1. For option 1, another 3 "other responses" which earned more was "When you can, please", 30 respondents, 8 was chosen (8 / 30).
"Please", was the election that followed in number (3 / 30) and there was a lone me can attend, please "(1 / 30). These twelve responses

be located next to the option 1 (Excuse me), because it takes more words (I understand that a simple answer, the less complimentary), and likewise with a purely personal comment, tell me seems too polite to ask "please" in a region where the petition or request a service, it is customary to use this phrase.

Although I placed the word "waiter" in Option 4-like 'caballero', "I think there are many people who use the" title "of servers, at least in the case of option 1: waiter, bartender, in case of men, for women it is more commonly referred to as 'Miss'.

1.1.2. In the case of option 6, for my informants' Excuse me occupied 3 and "Sorry", 1 (4 / 30).
This choice would place in option 1, because it "meets the requirement of calling the attention of the server politely."

1.1.3. Interviewee's response to the variant 8 was "Please show me ..."; the ubiquity in the number 3 and was 1 / 30, but I think in the first four options are much" forgiveness "and last four are very straightforward ... would not hurt a "please."

1.1.4. Four informants felt after choosing option 2 for the variant 9: "if I speak more of 'you', if you're young, 'the familiarity'."
I think in this case is not disrespectful, nor the courtesy to tutear, that the treatment of "you" is used and will continue using, as an attitude and a less formal language when addressing people more young.
However, the only person who answered with option 1 made a comment at the end of the survey: "In the street no one would speak of 'you' ... if you do not know anything "

1.1.5. "May I come in?" Response to option 10. I like this option because it includes a very subtle courtesy in which no information or reports about what will happen ("It's going down ... I'm going out").


1.2. Displays Mexico.
1.2.1. "Can, could come, please?" The question soften the tone of application and includes a "please" does not appear in the response options to option 1. (5 / 20).

1.2.2. "The global sign asking for the bill", "raise your hand," "expect eye contact" ... is not to assert in a project like that APUC de que “una imagen vale más que mil palabras”, pero en un restaurante ayuda mucho la expresión corporal (3/20)

1.2.3. Variante 4: 9/20 eligen responder “¿Están formados?”, la ubico en la opción 1 atendiendo a que el informante asume que respetará el turno y con esa pregunta lo hace saber a los involucrados en la situación.

1.2.4. Las variantes 5 y 7 con un total de 20 respuestas cada una da 13/40 con una opción en la que contestan “Primero saludo...”

1.2.5. La variante 6 libera el comentario de un estudiante universitario: le digo “Jefe” para hacerlo sentir más importante y que me conteste mejor”.

1.2.6. Variant 10 is 2 / 20: "May I come in?"


2. SEX utmost courtesy.
2.1. Sample Sevilla.
2.1.1. Women 76% 2.1.2. Men 24% (Average) * * Displays staff

About the courtesy from the Nahuatl

Contribution: Mr. Marcelino Hernández Beatriz

Just a reflection Complimentary on Nahua culture, returning the questionnaire No. 1.



the Nahuatl Indian language, as many of the languages \u200b\u200bof our country, have undergone changes in the surface and in substance. The English language has penetrated the depths of each indigenous language amending or making birth with foreign genes, so then we shall examine more in each of them to rescue some features today. English, by purchase, has changed, has transformed us, even we found come from the limbo of the two cultures, identity indefinitely.

Referring to the survey, some respondents are of Nahuatl origin, but with a degree, do not use the word a little (it achi), characteristic of Nahua culture, I instead use it but not always, because the term a bit, in English, has a connotation different from the world of Nahua culture. English-language directly represents a quantity.

When speaking in indigenous languages \u200b\u200bin direct relationship with the speakers, the word, a little, not needed in each application. In school we learn that the word is a little reference to the amount, without fear of confusion. Corresponds to a bit of a whole, to a piece, a portion. At that time, speakers of indigenous languages, the more advance professionalization, which represents more contact with the knowledge of the English language and its context, and not use the word a little, although it is true that it leaves completely.

The word some is used only when you ask for something, such as coffee, water, cooked beans, salt: I am a bit of coffee, gives me another little salt. The words a little, have a sense of appreciation. When you apply for something, it gives that sense, it refers to the amount directly. If no mention of the word is understood that some do not have that appreciation of what is asked, therefore, it is considered impolite.
You have to have, feel the appreciation of what is required, but also for what you have those who asked. This means that when I ask, because I know what it means to them, I do it that way, with care taken not to leave them nothing, they are finished. That would be cruel for one as the applicant.

When you ask something like firewood, chiles, bread, among other things, is as follows: you give me / you can take a couple (few) .... Each time you use the word one two (it ome) actually refers to a few. For Indians it has a very similar meaning to the word a little.

only the exact amount requested, as a cup, a kilo, one liter, one pint (unit of measurement equivalent to an average of four kilos, when you want it to. Used when you buy something.

As regards the word you. In the Nahuatl language, there is only the TA that the English word has the meaning of you or you.

to denote respect for persons, primarily adults and the elderly, the request is made with a slower pace and with a certain reverence (a very slight nod) It is also usual to use the word AUI (aunt) or tlayi (uncle), when you ask something or talk. Examples: "Uajka poliui

niasiti chinanko, tlayi? Is it much to get to town, man? Xinechmaka
mokafe AUI is achi. Give me a little of your aunt's coffee.

Translation Nahuatl is literal. To emphasize that I am writing with all due respect, the extension on the final syllable pronunciation, yi and ui. Thereupon
to ask some young people, is used at the end of the sentence the words: ichpokatl (girl, girl), telpokatl (young). To refer to children, we use the word pilsiuapil (girl), is derived from the word siuatl (female), pilokichpil (child), is derived from okixtli (male, male) pil particles is of reverence and respect, admiration. It is also understood as something small (short). The suffix-tsi is also of reverence, respect, admiration, as the word ueuentsi or pilueuentsi.

This explains why the Nahuatl speakers, we have no very clear at what point is the word you or you. In the English language, talking about me, I was not sure whether the use made for age, rank, nationality, or something. I do believe that when you use it is because I respect and admire the person and simply as a courtesy, to show my good education. I justified my doctor.

But this, the lack of distinction of the term you you, we received some grades as of little or no polite, even. Better sharpen your ear when it is said with some soft and slow, which is respect, and when it is otherwise.

When you ask for something, never used words whose meanings are of forgiveness and apology. These terms are used only if incurred to some fault or offense.

More comments on the next phase of work

Dear Colleagues

I've been checking the responses of the hundred and I interviewed a number of concerns have arisen that I would like to share and solve it all, added to which was added in a previous post Susan.

I think we should clarify the issue of the relationship between the number of words and courtesy or at least agree about how to process information, so that the results of different surveys are comparable. Pongo

example only the case in question 10 of questionnaire 1, for reasons of speed of analysis.

Dudas:

forms, "Excuse me" / "Compermiso" (sic) / "Excuse me," are in fact a greater courtesy by the simple fact of having two are almost interchangeable words or with forms Complimentary 1?: Permit / Allow / Bajaaaaaaaaaaaaan !!!!! (Sic) What do we do with the way "Let me go!" Which has two words, but it is far more powerful and less polite than "Excuse me"

What do we do with the way "Excuse me!": if you count the exclamation points is transformed into a more polite, to include four "words" that "simple" "Excuse me", the live or neutral intonation increase the sense of courtesy?

The situation is reversed if we look at "May I" (two words), subtly less polite form "Excuse me" (four "words").

Other cases:

"I give permission? "versus" I'll pass "

Even with both forms three words, an average speaker catalogaría the first way more polite than the second, simply because the first one is taking into account the existence of the other, indicating if you would have to give permission to pass. In the second, less politely, we might remember the proverb that says: "The donkey in front so as not to frighten them away": to reach the exit door, the speaker refers to himself, not others, and commits an act of discourtesy.

"Can you give me permission" versus "going down" or even versus "I give permission "

The three forms have the same number of words (three), and yet I do not think that should be on the same level of courtesy. The first way is much more polite than the next two, perhaps no sense of imposition than any speaker in the first half note for that "may" so obviously polite.

putting more examples could go on, making use of each of the questions in questionnaire 1, but first I would like us to agree together, to ensure that our results are comparable.

worth Not everyone knew the overall results of interviews, to get a general idea of \u200b\u200bwhere to run our analysis?

Comments and questions on the Questionnaire # 1

Contribution: Dr. Jose Maria Villarías Zugazagoitia

submit a question related to the processing of information from Questionnaire 1.

On the next stage of work for APUC:
1. When you ask ten different answers write to those presented in the questionnaire 1, is referred to a different answer for each question, or may be two or more different answers to some of the ten questions total?

2. With respect to the formula that relates in direct proportion to the number of words of courtesy, do we count or consider ALL the words? That is to say, especially in questions 7 and 8 of questionnaire 1, following "formula" courtesy, "forgive," "forgive," etc., the interviewee usually add a litany of explanations: "we are", "Give Back in ...", "go straight": add these words too?

2a. How do we count the cases where the respondent has two or more options for response? "We added twice, as if they were two different people (and add to the final total count of respondents as a person" double ") or consider only one answer selected at random?

2b. How has the words "please" means one or two words, alluding to its semantic content (a) or form (two)?

2c. Do we have to "ageless" under categories 2 and 4, excluding obviously the 3?
grouping proposals 3 and 4 also suppose that involve applying the formula that relates number of words and courtesy.

And finally, I will add two additional late response I just got to approach more easily to calculations with a base of 100 respondents (which may vary, of course, in depending on the answers I give to the questions in this post.)

In the next mail you include them, so that you consume Please data table.

Sorry for not writing a little earlier, but I'm fed up with the affairs of the classes, theses and conference organizers.
