摘要

Abstract

This article conducts a comparative study on the use of refusal speech acts in Ukrainian and Chinese. The survey found that when conducting the refusal speech acts

Chinese people tend to use refusal strategies more indirectly

more vaguely and in greater quantities. These differences are related to the differences in social values between Chinese and Western cultures. Ukraine is a society that focuses on the individual

while China is a society that focuses on the group. This article conducts pragmatic analysis on the results of this survey within the framework of politeness and in combination with cultural background.
