Summary:The objective of this research was to discover the melodic features of mitigating politeness used by Catalan speakers with the aim of providing methodological resources to teachers of Catalan as a foreign language. The activities designed offer students the opportunity to practice the intonation of politeness so as to avoid conflicts caused by melodic misunderstandings. This paper outlines the results obtained from the acoustic analysis of the data and its perceptive validation, in addition to a series of methodological proposals that will be of considerable use for teaching.
