This research delves into an extensive comparative analysis of politeness expressions within the framework of Semitic languages, with a particular focus on Arabic, Hebrew, Amharic, Tigrinya, and Tigre. Politeness expressions play a pivotal role in communication, serving as linguistic devices for expressing respect, gratitude, apologies, and other social intentions. By examining similarities and contrasts in politeness strategies across these languages, this study seeks to unravel the intricate interplay between language, culture, and social interaction within the Semitic language family. Through a systematic analysis of linguistic data drawn from authentic sources, including literature, conversations, and cultural artifacts, we aim to uncover underlying sociocultural norms and linguistic structures that shape communicative interactions in Semitic-speaking communities. Ultimately, this research contributes to a deeper understanding of politeness phenomena in Semitic languages and their broader implications for intercultural communication and linguistic theory.
