Sprachliche Höflichkeit und gesprochene Sprache in der philologischen Sprachausbildung – anwendungsorientierte Überlegungen

The paper deals with establishing the need to prioritize category of politeness in foreign language teaching and particularly concentrates on the tasks and challenges it presents to philology. Considerations on philological language competence constitute background for claiming postulates referring to didactics and integration of language politeness in philological education. These postulates implying concepts of intercultural communication and language awareness should contribute to further discussions on nature of foreign language teaching at philological studies.
