;example,  Face  Theory  is  considered  as  the  classical  theory studying  politeness  phenomenon  (Wang  2005);  nevertheless,  it  has  its  own  deficiencies  and different critical comments on it can be seen. Taking some obvious arguments and problems in  Face  Theory  into  consideration,  Helen  Spencer-Oatey  proposes  a  modified  framework Rapport Management Theory (short for RM Theory, 2000), involving two main components: the management of face and the management of sociality rights. In addition, this innovative theory includes both harmonious and unharmonious aspect of interaction between people by language, and becomes a new development of politeness theory in recent times.

1.2   Purpose and Significance of the Study
The present study investigates the phenomenon of politeness in TV talk shows with the support of RM Theory. Since talk shows have great influences, politeness is very important and its relevant theories are developed step by step, there are three purposes for choosing a talk show’s politeness phenomenon as the object of this study. First of all, the most influential theoretical framework related to politeness of language is Brown and Levinson’s Face Theory. Different from this classical model, RM Theory indicates four  facets  to  manage  politeness.  The  thesis  tries  to  prove  the  explanatory  power  of  RM Theory,  by  making  it  clear  that  the  politeness  between  interlocutors  can  be  managed  from sociality rights besides face, and both face and sociality rights can be understood from either personal aspect or social aspect. Next, the present study is hoped to make a complement to researches into the politeness phenomenon  in  TV  talk  shows,  and  find  out  some  manifest  and  effective  strategies  of realizing  politeness  in  the  context  of  TV  talk  shows.  In  talk  shows,  the  performance  of politeness  is  not  only  verbal  but  also  nonverbal.  In  the  meantime,  another  aim  is  to  collect some authentic expressions of English use. Finally,  the  thesis  tries  to  point  out  why  the  harmonious  effect  is  produced.  That  is,  to point out the factors that can influence the judgment of politeness. In this part, the author also lists some practical and theoretical significance of the study. Firstly,  nowadays  the  “global  village”  has  formed,  and  it  makes  the  contacts  among people  from  different  places,  groups,  cultures  and  so  on  more  and  more  frequent  and diversified day by day. Thus, keeping harmony is of great importance to everyone. Politeness phenomenon  is  the  crucial  component  of  realizing  harmonious  interpersonal  relationship.
