Abstract:

Taking an up-to-date and truly global approach, this volume presents a wide
range of phenomena in politeness research, and discusses key developments in
the field. Covering eight major world languages as well as several language
varieties, a team of leading scholars provide a multilingual and multicultural
perspective on various speech acts and emic conceptualisations of politeness,
and a diachronic view of the field. Most significantly, the volume focuses on
the latest trends in the field, such as metapragmatic approaches to
im/politeness, politeness and globalization, politeness in computer mediated
communication, and politeness and prosody, spanning a wide range of
methodologies and types of data, including naturally occurring conversations,
role plays, email messages, social media, online discussion forums,
ethnographic interviews, focus groups, questionnaires, experiments and
language corpora.
