As the modern world gets increasingly politicized nowadays interest towards political discourse grows significantly among people including linguists. This can be considered to be the major reason for linguists to make politics a target point for carrying out a number of researches. The paper explores face-threatening acts in a specific area of political discourse, namely in parliamentary discourse, analysing the British and Georgian parliamentary debates as data. The contrastive analysis of the empirical data has proved that the British and Georgian parliamentary debates differ with respect to using different strategies of im/politeness (analysed by Sandra Harris 2001) due to the cultural and social differences between the two countries. However, some similarities have also been identified, viz. the parliamentary debates of both countries are composed of intentional and explicit face-threatening acts which in their turn are realized through a number of means, in particular, interruptions, mocking remarks, prosodic means (specific intonation patterns, range of the participants’ voices, and so on).
