Abstract
The speech act of apologizing is one of the most studied speech acts in intercultural and cross-cultural pragmatics. The main function of an apology is to restore harmonious communication and social balance after causing an offense, making a mistake, or committing a transgression. The aim of this study is to examine the speech act of apologizing and the apology strategies used by native speakers of Macedonian and Turkish. The comparative analysis also explores the relationship between the speech act of apologizing, politeness, and cultural context.
Keywords: pragmatics, speech acts, apologizing, culture.
