In every human interaction, interlocutors strive to maintain appropriate decorum and politeness in order to avoid undue feeling of not being ‘nice’ or being insensitive to co-participant’s self-esteem or image. This culture of being ‘nice’ is expressed not only through verbal codes, but also through non-verbal cues such as pitch, tone, voice modulation, facial expression and other forms of body language. Nigeria legislative House reflects the uniqueness of Nigeria as a multicultural nation with about two hundred and fifty ethnic groups. Each tribe has a unique way of expressing ‘nice’ (politeness). This paper examines how Nigerian legislators from different ethnic groups acknowledge the self-esteem of other legislators during senate debates. The study used Scollon and Scollon’s politeness principle which states that in every interaction there is a continuous ‘face’ (self-image) negotiation and this ‘face’ which is made up of two aspects - involvement and independent- must be balanced during interactions because ‘face’ is a paradoxical concept. The interest of this study is to identify and to explain how politicians, who though are in opposition, acknowledge the self-esteem of others. Six hansards were sampled from 2009 to 2010, one bill from each quarter of the year. It was discovered that speakers almost always punctuate their contributions to debate with different types of politeness indicators as a means of acknowledging both the involvement and dependent face wants of participants. The politeness indicators often used by senators include address forms which are used not only as vocative (to the presiding senator) but also as designative (for reference to a third person mentioned in the speech), first person plural pronouns, rhetorical (speech) politeness markers and ritualized utterances.

Abstract There is an inexact rule of symmetry in certain kinds of critical overview, by which identities, as they find their cultural expressions, tend to match and answer each other. Thus, if Seamus Heaney is found to represent especially one model of identity in Northern Ireland, which could be called either Irish or Catholic, the full meaning of this representation comes with cultural understanding of the other identity, which might be called either Ulster Scots or Protestant.

Abstract Brigham Young learns of the attack on Fort Limhi, dashing his hopes that Native American tribes would side with the Mormons against the troops. This event may have contributed to a more conciliatory attitude on his part. After his meeting with Mormon leaders, Thomas L. Kane travels to Camp Scott, where he convinces Governor Alfred Cumming to come to Salt Lake City to meet with Young, against the warning of recently breveted General Albert Sidney Johnston. Though Cumming is begrudgingly accepted as governor by the people of Utah, while Cumming is away, Judge Delana Eckles indicts Young and others for treason for resisting the U.S. troops. Cumming and Thomas L. Kane begin a journey to southern Utah to investigate the Mountain Meadows Massacre, but their journey is cut short when Kane receives word that his father has unexpectedly died. Kane and Cumming return to Salt Lake City upon hearing the news.
