Abstract

This article examines the semantic features of the expression of the Generosity Maxim within the framework of politeness theory. Based on Geoffrey Leech’s politeness principle, the Generosity Maxim regulates communicative behavior by minimizing benefit to self and maximizing benefit to others. The study analyzes the linguistic means through which generosity is expressed in discourse, focusing on lexical, grammatical, pragmatic, and sociocultural mechanisms. The article also highlights cross-cultural aspects of the maxim and its realization in different communicative contexts.
