Abstract:This thesis analyzes language strategies of refusal in business invitation. Previous studies on business invitation primarily involve levels of linguistics and pragmatics as well as theoretical analysis of refusal strategies. Based on the Politeness Principle and Face-saving Theory, this thesis analyzes how to refuse the business invitation effectively. The study shows that language strategies of refusal can be divided into direct refusal strategy and indirect refusal strategy. Indirect refusal strategy consists of strategy of showing regret, strategy of showing positive attitude, strategy of implication, strategy of offering an alternative and strategy of showing empathy. The choice of the specific strategy is mainly affected by the sense of cultural value, social distance and communicating context. This thesis assists businessmen in choosing the appropriate strategy to refuse the business English invitation politely and maintain faces of both sides so as to keep a friendly and cooperative relationship.
