Resumen:
Brown and Levinson state, in their foundational works on politeness, that only some communicative acts intrinsically threaten the speaker's and the hearer's face. Therefore, when performing these face-threatening acts, speakers use strategies aiming at minimizing face threat. The purpose of this paper is to suggest that all speech acts, i.e., all utterances, inevitably affect both the speaker´s and the hearer´s face.
