Abstract
This research work entitled Apologies in English and Magar
Language was carried out to identify and compare the forms of apologies used
in English and Magar languages. In order to carry out this research, I used both
primary and secondary sources of data. A set of questionnaire was prepared as
a tool for data collection. I sampled 60(30/30) native speakers of both English
and Magar languages through purposive/ judgmental non- random sampling
procedure using questionnaire as a research tool. On the basis of the collected
data, the comparison between English and Magar was done using simple
statistical tools such as frequency and percentage. The major findings of the
study show that the English native speakers were found using more apologetic
responses than the Magar native speakers and Magar native speakers were
found using more repaired statements than English native speakers while
apologizing in various situations.
