Three experiments were conducted to examine whether people spontaneously remember the wording used to convey politeness. In all experiments, subjects heard statements varying in politeness that had been made by either a high-status (e.g., a professor) or equal-status (e.g., another student) speaker. Subjects' incidental memory for these statements was then tested with either a recognition (Experiments 1 and 3) or a recall (Experiment 2) procedure. As expected, there was evidence of significant memory for wording that conveyed politeness, and subjects were more likely to remember forms that were incongruous with the speaker's status. There was also some evidence that subjects encoded the politeneess of a remark even when they were unable to recall the specific remark. The results demonstrate the role of the interpersonal dimension in the processing of language in context.
进行了三项实验，以检验人们是否会自发记住用于表达礼貌的措辞。在所有实验中，受试者听到了由高地位者（如教授）或同等地位者（如另一名学生）说出的礼貌程度不同的陈述。然后，通过识别（实验1和3）或回忆（实验2）程序测试受试者对这些陈述的附带记忆。正如预期的那样，有证据表明对表达礼貌的措辞有显著记忆，并且受试者更有可能记住与说话者地位不一致的形式。也有一些证据表明，即使受试者无法回忆起具体的话语，他们也会对一句话的礼貌程度进行编码。结果证明了人际维度在语境中语言处理中的作用。
