| The speech act of requesting is one of the most common speech acts that are ever being used in many situations since it is used to fulfill the expression of a variety of requests. Accordingly, it acquires special importance among the set of all pragmatically-feasible speech acts. Several definitions have been proposed by scholars for request. For example, Green(1975:121, cited in Al-Hindawy,1999) defines request as ‘‘the method used in polite society for getting someone to do something’’. For Trosborg (1995:187, cited in Al-Hindawy,1999:67) a ‘‘request is an illocutionary act whereby a speaker (requester) conveys to a hearer (requestee) that he/she wants the requestee to perform an act which is for the benefit of the speaker’’.

In fact, a more comprehensive and satisfactory definition is proposed | ||
