　　本文以Austin和Searle的言語(yǔ)行為理論,拒絕言語(yǔ)行為理論以及Brown & Levinson的面子理論為理論依據(jù),對(duì)中美在商務(wù)溝通的拒絕言語(yǔ)行為進(jìn)行了對(duì)比研究。 本研究采用問(wèn)卷法收集語(yǔ)料,問(wèn)卷的設(shè)計(jì)參照了Beebe等學(xué)者的“語(yǔ)篇補(bǔ)全測(cè)試”(DCT)模板,并作了修改,使得本問(wèn)卷中的問(wèn)題符合商務(wù)環(huán)境。本文對(duì)選取出來(lái)的60份反饋問(wèn)卷進(jìn)行了細(xì)致的研究,其中包括30名來(lái)自中國(guó)外貿(mào)公司人員的問(wèn)卷和30名來(lái)自美國(guó)外貿(mào)公司人員的問(wèn)卷,數(shù)據(jù)分析采用定量和定性分析相結(jié)合的方法。通過(guò)比較拒絕言語(yǔ)行為策略的使用頻率,進(jìn)而分析社會(huì)地位和社會(huì)距離等因素對(duì)拒絕言語(yǔ)行為表達(dá)方式的影響。由于中美文化之間存在差異,影響著中美在商務(wù)溝通中拒絕言語(yǔ)行為策略的選擇,在此基礎(chǔ)上對(duì)文化參數(shù)進(jìn)行分析,找出起決定作用的文化因素。 本研究表明,在使用拒絕言語(yǔ)行為的策略上,中美既有相似之處,但也有明顯的差異。在商務(wù)溝通中,當(dāng)上級(jí)拒絕下級(jí)時(shí),中國(guó)人在實(shí)施這一言語(yǔ)行為時(shí)更傾向于直接拒絕的策略,而大多數(shù)美國(guó)人則更多的采取委婉策略；當(dāng)下級(jí)拒絕上級(jí)時(shí),中國(guó)人則傾向于使用間接策略以表禮貌,而美國(guó)人直接策略使用的較多；當(dāng)二者社會(huì)地位平等...
