<p class="MsoNormal">Hello,<br>
<br>
I'm putting together a new class about language and (im)politeness and would like to know what readings you think might be worthwhile to look at in a course like this. This includes grammatical (im)politeness (like T/V forms) as well as metapragmatics and style.
Broadly speaking, I'm open to things that touch upon language of respect and deference, along with taboo or "fighting words," in any setting or space.<br>
<br>
My research is on honorifics in Cambodia, so I have lots of sources on Southeast Asian languages and person-reference terms. I'm also considering some old works (Brown & Levinson, Brown & Gilman) along with the Anthropological Quarterly special issue in 2011
(edited by Fleming & Lempert). I feel like I might be missing any newer sources. I think social media and the internet must have new emergent rules about language and (im)politeness.<br>
<br>
This course begins next week, so if you could get back to me by this **Friday, March 22** as I continue to work on my syllabus this weekend, I would appreciate it. (If anyone wants to know the story why this message is coming to you late, read my PS below.)
Feel free to send any and all sources that you think might be useful. But any late sources will still be appreciated. I will teach this course again next year, so any lingering or late responses will still be helpful as I continue to think about shaping the
course. Thank you in advance!<br>
<br>
All the best,<br>
Cheryl<br>
<br>
P.S. I do apologize for this late request. I wanted to make the request earlier, but The Linguist webpage was giving me issues. I was previously subscribed to this list using an older email from my time as a PhD student that I rarely check. I am now a new professor
at Carleton so I wanted to re-subscribe using a newer email, which I check daily. However, for some reason, my college's malware software deemed the Linguist webpage a threat and blocked all Carleton laptops from accessing the Linguist website. Because of
this, I was unable to access it to access the page to re-subscribe. I had to make an IT ticket and it took them several days to investigate. They finally said the malware software was miscategorizing the website (or the website was misconfigured), so they
had to put the website on the exception list. After finally accessing the Linguist webpage and re-subscribing with my new email, I did not know that there was a secondary step of clicking on an approval link because that email had gone into my spam folder.
Before knowing all of this, I tried to send this email request twice, but the Linganth moderator kept saying my message was being denied because I was a non-member. I think I am a member now and am hoping this third and final request to send this email finally
goes through. <o:p></o:p></p>
