Mi dai un consiglio per un regalo
Anna: Elisa, ho bisogno di un consiglio.
Elisa: Dimmi tutto!
Anna: Domani è il compleanno di Giulio e devo ancora comprare il regalo.
Elisa: Hai già un’idea?
Anna: Mah, qualcosa di abbigliamento, non so esattamente...
Elisa: Regalagli una camicia.
Anna: No, ne ha già molte.
Elisa: Allora prendigli un paio di pantaloni.
Anna: No, i pantaloni vuole sempre provarli. Altrimenti poi dice che sono troppo larghi o troppo stretti.
Elisa: Una cravatta?
Anna: No, regalare una cravatta a Giulio non è una buona idea. Lo sai, si veste sempre molto classico e per le cravatte ha gusti difficili...
Elisa: Ho trovato, compragli un bracciale.
Anna: Beh, a me piacciono i bracciali da uomo, però non sono sicura... non ho molti soldi.
Elisa: Sta’ tranquilla, un bracciale d’argento o d’acciaio costa meno di una cravatta o di una camicia.
Anna: Va bene... Ma dove lo compro?
Elisa: Vieni con me, ti accompagno io. Conosco una gioielleria qui vicino.
This dialogue takes place between two people and focuses on requesting advice for a idea about a gift.
In the first sentence Anna makes a request for advice and this act represents a form of threat to the positive face of the one who asks for advice as well as a threat to Elisa's right of autonomy in terms of a positive face.
Elisa replies "tell me everything" as a statement that welcomes a positive politeness, thus enhancing the fact that you choose your person to get advice. This way you don't intend to charge anyone who asks for advice. Asking for advice is one way to bestow many benefits on the positive side of someone who can give you advice.
Anna explains that "tomorrow is Giulio's birthday and must make a gift". the first part has the function of mitigation with justification disposal as a way to enter into the merits of the conversation. This is a way to give a positive face to your person when you say that you have to buy a gift.
Elisa replies with "do you already have an idea?" as a way of indicating that the maximum quantity is not respected because the elements are missing to be able to best respond to your advice. Therefore, it is a form of threat to her positive face for Elisa because she is not put in a position to obtain interactional benefits in terms of a positive face in this way. In practice, Elisa pays costs in terms of threat for her positive face due to the inability to offer her advice.
Anna start the sentences with "ma" indicating an indecision that represents a threat to her positive face because she is unable to solve this task and is sceptical to defend her negative face in front of the cost immediately to affirm the lack of knowledge of the gift to be made.
Elisa: "give him a shirt" is a way to ratify with a proposal a solution to give Anna a positive face and in the same way to obtain benefits in this interaction.
Anna replies "not, she already has many" as a way not to ratify because it would pay a very high cost in terms of a positive face towards Giulio. In practice there are only interactional costs in this proposal. Elisa agrees to share the interactional costs by trying to grant benefits to Anna's need for a positive face by proposing an alternative to obtain benefits from this interactional exchange. In this way we try to save the positive face of Anna and at the same time of Elisa who is paying costs in terms of a positive face with a series of tips that are not ratified.
Anna later does not ratify the advice of the pants offered by Elisa because her boyfriend Giulio needs to try them as a form of explanation \ justification to obtain a form of mitigation.
The fact that Giulio loves to try on trousers is Giulio's way of avoiding paying costs in terms of a negative face with the purchase of trousers that do not allow to protect one's need for a negative face.
Elisa continues to pay costs for her positive side because she continues to offer suggestions that are not ratified as with the case of the "tie" proposal.
Anna: here the answer is very clear in terms of the degree of imposition because she does not want to pay too high costs in front of the possibility of not getting any benefit from the purchase of a gift for her boyfriend. This would be the case with the purchase of the tie since it would charge costs towards Giulio's strong defence of his negative face.

Therefore Elisa continues to pay costs in terms of recognition of her need for a positive face and to try to reduce these costs she proposes the choice of another garment as a way to obtain some recognition for her need for a face.
At this point Anna positively ratifies this possibility by saying that she loves bracelets but at the same time this choice represents a threat to her positive face because it is too expensive a gift according to her person.
Elisa replies saying "don't worry" as a preface to avoid confirming the cost in terms of loss of positive face with the inability to accept these costs. The proposal is explained as a way to offer a mitigation to Elisa's positive face.
Anna replies with "okay. But where do I buy it?" as a statement that ratifies by granting positive benefits for Elena's positive face but at the same time needs to protect her positive face with the formulation of another question to obtain more elements of mitigation to be granted to Elisa's positive face.
In her reply, Elisa adheres to an "engaging" type of interaction with the use of positive courtesy as a way of enhancing Anna's need for a positive face, who throughout the dialogue suffered costs from her positive face for the absence of ratification by Anna. In this way it will be impossible to refuse this invitation and therefore increase the benefits for Elisa after suffering so many international costs. The maintenance of this positive politeness at the end of the dialogue demonstrates a very friendly relationship between the two people.
