Abstract:

This new series consists of accessible yet challenging accounts of the
most important issues to consider when examining the relationship
between language and society. Written by leading experts, the books in
the series are designed to be used in courses and in seminars, and
include useful suggestions for further reading and helpful glossaries.

Using a wide range of data from real-life speech situations, this
introduction to politeness theory breaks away from the limitations of
current models.  It argues that the proper object of study in
politeness theory must be "common sense" definitions of politeness and
impoliteness. Richard Watts concludes that a more appropriate model,
based on Bourdieu's concept of social practice, can thus be developed.
