Complimenting Behavior: A Cross-Cultural Investigation.
Ylanne-McEwen, Virpi
Journal of Multilingual and Multicultural Development, v14 n6 p499-508 1993
This study investigated complimenting behavior in three language varieties, British English, Finnish, and the interlanguage of Finish Learners of English. It found that compliments in Finnish tended to be longer and more syntactic than in English and that Finnish learners of English demonstrated appropriate complimenting behavior in English, although some transfer from the first language was noted.
