The aim of this paper is to analyze a Mother-Daughter Conversation culled from AmmaDarko‟sFaceless(2003). It draws its theoretical insights from sociolinguistics: Speech Act and Politeness theories. Combining these theories with quantitative and qualitative approaches, it intends to examine how the two interlocutors (MaaTsuru and her daughter, Fofo) in the conversation address each other, the speech acts and the politeness strategies they employ and find out in situ if the speech acts and politeness strategies each party uses save or threaten the other‟s face. The analysis of speech acts reveals that Fofo has used a very great number of directives meant to query her mother while MaaTsuru has employed a very important number of representatives aimed at responding to every single query of her daughter. Similarly, the analysis of politeness strategies exudes that the interlocutors have selected politeness strategies which redress or mitigate face-threatening acts in their conversation.
