Abstract:

The volume addresses the enormous imbalance that exists between academic
interest in politeness phenomena when compared to impoliteness phenomena.
Researchers working with Brown and Levinson's ([1978] 1987) seminal work on
politeness rarely focused explicitly on impoliteness. As a result, only one
aspect of facework/relational work has been studied in detail. Next to this
research desideratum, politeness research is on the move again, with
alternative conceptions of politeness to those of Brown and Levinson being
further developed. In this volume researchers present, discuss and explore
the concept of linguistic impoliteness, the crucial differences and
interconnectedness between lay understandings of impoliteness and the
academic concept within a theory of facework/relational work, as well as
the exercise of power that is involved when impoliteness occurs. The
authors offer solid discussions of the theoretical issues involved and draw
on data from political interaction, interaction with legally constituted
authorities, workplace interaction in the factory and the office,
code-switching and Internet practices. The collection offers inspiration
for research on impoliteness in many different research fields, such as
(critical) discourse analysis, conversation analysis, pragmatics and
stylistics, as well as linguistic approaches to studies in conflict and
conflict resolution.

The LINGUIST List is under the umbrella of Eastern Michigan University and as such 
can receive donations through the EMU Foundation, which is a registered 501(c) 
Non Profit organization. Our Federal Tax number is 38-6005986. These donations 
can be offset against your federal and sometimes your state tax return (U.S. tax 
payers only). For more information visit the IRS Web-Site, or contact your 
financial advisor.

Many companies also offer a gift matching program, such that they will match any 
gift you make to a non-profit organization. Normally this entails your contacting 
your human resources department and sending us a form that the EMU Foundation fills 
in and returns to your employer. This is generally a simple administrative procedure 
that doubles the value of your gift to LINGUIST, without costing you an extra penny. 
Please take a moment to check if your company operates such a program.

Thank you very much for your support of LINGUIST!
