چکیده مقاله
Courtesy is a matter of significant importance in the study of the different cultures, and how to be courteous in a certain culture depends, to a great extent, on the social norms and behaviors of that culture or social group Therefore, what could be taken as courteous in one society may be frowned upon as discourteous in another The current study approaches this topic in a twofold way: on the one hand, it highlights the erroneous uses of courtesy by Iraqi students of English as a Foreign Language henceforth, EFL as compared to courtesy norms adhered to by the native speakers of English, as well as draw a dividing line between the ways in which courtesy is used by female and male students of EFL in Iraq It is hypothesized that there are remarkable differences between the courtesy rules by the native speakers of English and those of the non native; and, that there are differences between male and female non native speakers of English for the favour of the females To achieve its purpose, the current study relies on sociolinguistic concepts, such as Cultural Knowledge, Gender Differences, Variance, etc It also depends on a questionnaire which is distributed to Iraq EFL students at the University of Babylon to test the proposed hypotheses The study finds out that, due to the transfer from their first language s cultural norms, the non native speakers of English use the courtesy norms of English erroneously; and that female non native EFL speakers rely more on courteous norms than males do
