This article analyses verbal interaction from the point of view of politeness theory. Politeness is characterized according to the pioneers´ approaches to this subject (Lakoff, Fraser, Leech, Haverkate, Brown and Levinson). The analysis then focuses on Brown and Levinson´s model of politeness theory, based on the concept of face. In order to explain the linguistic realization of politeness, examples are taken from both authentic texts and dialogues of novels.
