This study investigates the phenomenon of Nepali linguistic politeness through the analysis of naturally occurring data from service encounter, business, and family settings. The study examines various linguistic and discourse features, including address terms, honorifics, speech acts, closings and openings of interactions, topic control, and conflict talk, in order to uncover the social factors that influence the use of various politeness strategies in these settings. Based on the results of this study, relationship was found to be the most important aspect of social interaction among Nepali individuals and their politeness behavior. In this study, individuals' occupational rank in the business setting was the most important social factor on which their social identity was constructed and their relationship with one another was formed. Similarly, one's position or role in the family was the basis of relationship in the family setting. Other secondary social factors that influenced a relationship and the use of politeness strategies in the business setting were age and social distance or intimacy. The asymmetrical relationship among the interactants in the business and social/family settings resulted in the non-reciprocal use of politeness strategies with various levels of honorifics. On the other hand, the lack of a definite and mutually acceptable relationship between the clerk and customer in the service encounter setting was evident in their behavior of social indifference to each other and in their use of politeness strategies marked as either minimally honorific or honorifically neutral. The study also indicates that the main concern of Nepali individuals in an interactional situation is to observe the social expectations associated with their relationship.
