- W2501169923 abstract "The main purpose of this study was to determine the forms and functions of indirect speech in Thai and to investigate the subjects' choice of direct or indirect means of communication. The data was collected from two sources: (1) conversations drawn from five contemporary novels and (2) answers to a questionnaire administered to 475 subjects regarding their choice of direct or indirect speech in certain interactional situations. The subjects were selected by using stratified random sampling and were grouped according to occupation, gender, level of education, and age. The findings from the analysis of conversations in the novels indicate that indirect speech was mostly found in interrogative form, and the major function of indirectness was to convey irony. In contrast, the questionnaire subjects' choices of direct or indirect use of language show that they prefer indirectness predominantly to emphasize politeness. In addition, there seems to be a slight proportional relationship between the subjects' use of indirectness and their educational level. In other words, it seems that as the subjects' level of education increases, they become slightly more likely to use an indirect means of communication." @default.
