<B>Call for Papers: New Approaches to Face-Work in Verbal Interaction<BR>
American Anthropological Association Meeting, New Orleans, November 2002<BR>
</B><BR>
In his seminal 1955 article "On Face-Work: An Analysis of Ritual Elements in Social Interaction," Erving Goffman defined "face" as "an image of self delineated in terms of approved social attributes." I am organizing a panel for this year's AAA meetings that will consider ways in which Goffman's conceptualization of social interaction as "face-work" can be productively applied to various linguistic practices. I am particularly interested in assembling a collection of papers from diverse contexts that extend the application of the concept beyond the notions of "politeness" already considered in detail by Brown & Levinson and others. <BR>
