What is face to you?
Brown&Levinson think "face" is a public self-image that every social member try to strive after for himself.
One action that threatens one's face depends on there factors--- 1,social distance--D
2,relative power--P
3,absolute ranking of imposition--Rx
Wx=the degree of threatening to face
Wx=D(S.H)+P(H.S)+Rx
S=Speaker,H=hearer
Notes--P(H.S) means the impact of the hearer's power on the speaker
