Sara Robles Avila , Andrijana Deljanin

• In this paper we analyze a very common communicative strategy of the Hispanic cortesía valorizante: the acts of good wishes. The results obtained will be used to intervene in the teaching-learning process of Spanish to Serbian students. Based on the quantitative and qualitative analysis of two digital corpora, where these acts are represented, their pragmalingustic and sociopragmatic use in both cultures has been delimited. The contrast of the data obtained indicates two levels of treatment of this speech act: 1. the linguistic one, to provide Serbian students with all the verbal resources and syntactic mechanisms common in Hispanic colloquial conversation; 2. The socio-cultural one, to make them aware of the values of the target culture, which, as this research shows, is mostly conditioning the frequency of use and the contexts in which this polite act occurs.
