摘要：本文根据利奇提出的礼貌原则，以《爱丽丝梦游仙境》的12组对话场景为例，从而分析得出礼貌在对话过程中使其保持愉快和继续进行的有效作用。文章主要采取描述性研究方法对礼貌原则进行阐述，并对童话故事中的对话进行分类研究。此文从两方面对《爱丽丝梦游仙境》的对话进行分析，一方面是对话双方遵循礼貌的六项原则从而对话会继续进行；另一方面是童话故事中的对话话语违反了礼貌六项原则，因而交际双方会因为不愉快而终止会话。由此产生的不同结果使读者体会到会话中礼貌的重要性，以及遵循和违背礼貌原则所产生的不同对话结果。

1. Introduction

With the development of our society, we depend more on politeness. Therefore, no matter what our society develop, politeness is more and more important for us. Since the ancient time, many countries keep the politeness as one of the most important things in their nation, so do we.

Since 1967, Grice put forward the Cooperative Principle, he made the politeness as a theory at the first time and the four Cooperative Principles were turned up. After Grice‟s Cooperative Principle, Robin Lakoff pointed out the Politeness Principle in order to add and enrich the Cooperative Principle. His three maxims of Politeness Principle gave the Politeness much more lights. Then in 1978 Brown and Levinson proposed the politeness from the face-saving frame of reference. As they thoughts, when people communicated to each other, we should let others owns …face‟, because it could make other happy, and people were glad to talk with you. Leech was one of the most important and famous people in the history of Politeness Principle. His six maxims of Politeness Principle were so worth for us to study. He wrote the Politeness Principle as system, and it becomes mature.

Alice‟s Adventure in Wonderland is one of the most outstanding stories in the world, written by English writer Lewis Carroll. He gives us a wonderful story about a girl named Alice experienced the adventures in her dream, what is the more, his interesting language and colorful imagination also give us deep impression. Alice as a little girl, when she talks to other in the story, her language reflects her characteristics. My paper will introduce the development of Politeness Principle at first, and then, I will analyze the dialogues in Alice‟s Adventure in the Wonderland according to the Politeness Principle. At last, I will give my conclusion.
