The subject of this paper is the nonverbal realization of selected polite 'speech' acts. The aim of this paper is to analyse nonverbal facework strategies observed in Polish culture. The main theoretical assumptions of the two theories, Brown and Levinson's theory of politeness and Ting-Toomey's face-negotiation theory, serve as a theoretical framework for the analysis.
