The linguistic politeness can be understood as the result of man's need to maintain the balance of their interpersonal relationships. The speakers employ politeness strategies in their verbal interactions, in order to keep them free of potential conflicts. Such strategies can be found in the speech of teachers on the inclusion of people with disabilities in the school environment. It is believed that these teachers make use of politeness not only to maintain the harmony of interpersonal relationships, but mainly to design, maintain and confirm images of themselves and the group to which they belong, in accordance with what is socially coded as politically correct. The objective is to investigate the linguistic politeness in the discourse of these teachers, discussing the reasons underlying their use and their implications for effective school inclusion of people with disabilities, based on the following questions: a) What strategies of politeness can be verified in teachers' discourse on the inclusion of people with disabilities in regular classrooms? b) What reasons lead teachers to employ strategies of politeness in his speech? c) What effect this polite discourse can produce to the process of inclusion of people with disabilities in the school environment? The research was based on concepts provided by pragmatic theories, in regard to politeness, from the model proposed by Brown and Levinson (1987 [1978]), according to the reformulations and improvements made by Kerbrat-Orecchioni (2004, 2006) associated with other reflections provided mainly by studies of Rodriguez (2010), Goffman (2008) and Bravo (2000). These concepts were articulated to the issue of disability, which is presented and discussed based on the contributions of several authors, among them, Pessotti (1984), Pereira (2006), Diniz (2010), Mazzotta (2005), Matos (2007 ) and Souza (2009). The corpus of this research was formed with the data from a focused discussion on the subject of inclusion of people with disabilities in school; the proposal was drawn up on a focus group of elementary school teachers in public schools of Sergipe. Although the Focus Group has been the main source, there was the triangulation of data generated by diagnostic form, individual interviews and participant observation. The data analysis shows that politeness which occurs in the speech of teachers on the inclusion of people with disabilities in the school environment not only serves to disguise the stigma that hangs over the image of people with disabilities, but especially to the projection, preservation and confirmation of teachers' images of themselves and the group they belong to. These images result from projections of ideological values of society over the person, which applies to him in the form of a system of appearances. Thus, words and actions of teachers integrate a representation that person meet in order to enroll in a group and not to be classified as strange or deviant from what is considered appropriate or proper. This appearance game disguises attitudinal barriers and negative procedures for effective inclusion of people with disabilities in school and society.
