relatively recently. The concept is complex and multi-faceted but broadly
speaking it is assumed that it will lead to homogenisation of every aspect of people’s
lives (e.g. Held et al. 2003; Coupland 2003, 2010;</span><span style="font-size:11.0pt;mso-ansi-language:EN-GB" id="yui_3_16_0_1_1443189546605_5931" class=""> <span lang="EN-GB" id="yui_3_16_0_1_1443189546605_5933" class="">Fairclough

fall at the heart of globalisation not least because it entails mobility and
increasing numbers of various kinds of interactions both traditional and novel,

sells well if it is wrapped up with politeness (a hallmark of this being the
service sector). A powerful kind of politeness, which despite its sounding
alien to many, is spreading, thus appears to be leading to the homogenisation
of discourse practices (e.g. Cameron 2000, 2003).</span><span style="font-size:11.0pt;mso-ansi-language:EN-US" id="yui_3_16_0_1_1443189546605_5945" class=""> Yet this view is in sharp contrast with a
basic tenet of much of the recent research on im/politeness, namely that even
within one culture there is considerable variation as to what is perceived as
polite or impolite (e.g. Kádár & Mills 2011; Culpeper 2011, 2012). </span><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size:11.0pt;mso-bidi-font-family:Palatino-Roman;mso-ansi-language:EN-GB" id="yui_3_16_0_1_1443189546605_5947" class="">However, since globalisation is a process which
implies change, this change actually entails both homogenisation and
diversification “but in relation to each other. Globalization often produces
hybridity and multiplicity” (Coupland 2010: 5). </span><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size:11.0pt;mso-ansi-language:EN-GB" id="yui_3_16_0_1_1443189546605_5949" class="">Interestingly, globalisation
