The speech act of requesting has been one of the most widely examined features in both the interlanguage and cross-cultural pragmatics fields. Specifically, a request consists of an illocutionary act in which the speaker asks the hearer to perform an action which is for the benefit of the speaker (Trosborg 1995; Sifianou 1999). Therefore, this speech act has been regarded as one of the most threatening speech acts, since it intrinsically threatens the hearer’s face (Brown and Levinson 1987). Given the face-threatening nature involved in making this speech act, the speaker may want to modify the impact of it by employing particular modification devices that have been classified into two types: internal and external. According to Sifianou (1999: 158), internal modification devices refer to those linguistic elements that appear within the same request act in order to mitigate or intensify its force (e.g. Could you probably open the door for me?), whereas external modification devices appear in the immediate linguistic context surrounding the request act (e.g. Could you open the door for me? I’m carrying so many bags that I cannot do it).
