This paper investigates a particularly face-threatening speech act - refusals. It explores Emiratis’ comfort level and the use of the refusal speech act in communicative exchanges with unknown tourists. The data set consisted of 94 participant responses to a pre-instructional activity in an introductory linguistics class. Both descriptive and inferential statistics were used to analyze the data sets. The key findings suggest that both male and female participants were rather comfortable conversing with a tourist couple that they had never met, but male participants reported being more at ease accepting the couple’s request to take a photo with the tourists at a statistically significant level. While more than half of the participants reported willingness to take the photo with the tourists, approximately 41.5% would decline such a request, with significantly more females declining the request. The most frequent components of the refusal speech act included a statement of regret, a thank-you note, and an excuse, reason, or explanation. Results also showed that linguistic devices for positive politeness purposes were used rather sparingly, and it was mainly the females who used them. Based on the results, it is helpful for visitors to the UAE to be mindful of Emiratis' sociocultural and sociolinguistic behaviors so that the nuances of communication can be understood and responses are appropriate, which can reduce the likelihood of communication breakdowns and increase the well-being of all involved in the interaction.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="ru"><p style="text-align: justify;">Эффективная коммуникация между жителями разных стран требует не только способности говорить на общем языке, но и знания социокультурных правил и социолингвистических особенностей, включая речевые акты. В статье рассматривается речевой акт отказа, представляющий особую угрозу для лица собеседника. Его реализация неносителями английского языка из Арабских Эмиратов еще недостаточно изучена. Исследуется уровень комфорта жителей Эмиратов при выражении отказа в общении с незнакомыми туристами. Материалом исследования послужили 94 реакции респондентов на приглашение туристов совместно сфотографироваться. Предварительно на вводном лингвистическом занятии участникам были даны инструкции. Для анализа полученных данных использовалась описательная и инференциальная статистика. Результаты показывают, что как мужчинам, так и женщинам, было достаточно комфортно разговаривать с туристами, однако мужчины - участники исследования - чувствовали себя более непринужденно, соглашаясь сфотографироваться с ними. Хотя более половины участников сообщили о своей готовности сфотографироваться, приблизительно 41.5% отметили, что отказались бы выполнить такую просьбу, причем отказом ответило бы значительно больше женщин. Наиболее частотными компонентами речевого акта отказа были выражения сожаления, благодарности, извинения или объяснение причины отказа. Результаты также показали, что лингвистические приемы позитивной вежливости использовались достаточно редко, в основном женщинами. На основе полученных результатов можно сделать вывод, что приезжающим в ОАЭ следует принимать во внимание социокультурные и социолингвистические нюансы поведения местных жителей и реагировать на них соответствующим образом; это снизит вероятность коммуникативных сбоев и повысит уровень благополучия участников общения.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>Refusal</kwd><kwd>speech act</kwd><kwd>Emirati speakers</kwd><kwd>tourists</kwd><kwd>socio-cultural rules</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>отказ</kwd><kwd>речевой акт</kwd><kwd>жители Эмиратов</kwd><kwd>туристы</kwd><kwd>социокультурные правила</kwd></kwd-group><funding-group/></article-meta></front><body></body><back><ref-list><ref id="B1"><label>1.</label><mixed-citation>Abed, Qadoury A. 2011.
