3. 国内外研究现状

Previous studies on compliment abroad

Goody(1978) pointed out that compliment makes people feel good, and Wolfson and Manes(1980) pointed out that “complimenting can thus be treated as a social strategy employed in order to start, establish, or maintain solidarity with the addressee.”Thus, a series of social functions of compliments can be summarized as follows: creating or reinforcing solidarity, greeting people, expressing thanks or congratulations, encouraging people, softening criticism and starting a conversation or even getting over embarrassment.

From earlier studies, it is shown that the emphasis has been put on compliment-response. For example Pomerantz (1978) has proposed two of the most influential conversational principle and has found that there are five different response strategies - upgrade, scale-down agreement, down-grades, reassignment of praise and return. Most of previous studies belong to analysis concerning topics, semantic and syntactic features and compliment response strategies(Guo [郭巧利], 2017).
