This research paper deals with the study of criticism of one of the most important books in linguistics which is titled "The Pragmatics of Politeness", for Geoffrey Leech. Critical discourse analysis is a methodology that has the linguistic function of enabling a powerful evaluation of some selected texts. As such, in this study, there is a short review for each chapter of the book from a critical point of view. That is, the linguistic aspects in general, and those of pragmatics in particular are taken into account. Further, by taking how to understand and how to analyze the texts linguistically, the aim will be to give a beneficial criticism to those interested in the study of pragmatics and discourse analysis. It is worth noting that pragmatics and discourse analysis are two overlapping aspects in the study of linguistics. So the criticism is directed to the elements of politeness, which is one of the main approaches of pragmatics and which is found everywhere, that is, in every days human communications and so on.
