ABSTRACT

One of the main contributions of this book is that it offers a
thorough survey of the theoretical and empirical developments that
have occurred in the area of (im)politeness in the different regions
of the Spanish-speaking world, gathering together overviews by
distinguished scholars. Additionally, the book advances the field with
new empirical research on linguistic (im)politeness, and silence and
(im)politeness, in a range of (non)institutional contexts, as well as
new perspectives for the study of (im)politeness. A closing chapter by
the editors provides an
assessment of salient trends in the area and directions for future research.

'Research on Politeness in the Spanish-Speaking World' is essential
reading for senior undergraduates and graduate students in Spanish
pragmatics and Spanish linguistics, sociolinguistics, and discourse
analysis. The volume is also very useful to English-speaking scholars
in the general field of pragmatics who are not proficient in Spanish
but require access to these empirical studies.
