Abstract:

'A much welcome addition to the ongoing exploration of Chinese politeness, as
well as politeness research in general. It also has significant implications
to cross-cultural pragmatics, and intercultural communication.'
- From the Foreword by Yuling Pan 

This volume looks at politeness phenomena in a culture and country that is
becoming the most influential in the world. It is the first book to survey
politeness variations across different genres in Chinese and fills a gap in
both politeness research in general and in Chinese politeness research in
particular.

Unlike existing studies which treat Chinese politeness phenomena as
non-varying this study provides systemic evidence for how linguistic polite
behaviour varies across genres in China. These intracultural variations which
are investigated in the volume include addressing, backchanneling, identity
construction and rapport management which are subject to the influence of
genre differences such as formality of occasion, media and channel of
communication, presence or absence of interlocutor or third party and
role-configurations. The volume offers those who read or write Chinese texts
or engage in Chinese conversation an enriched knowledge of how politeness as
the most important type of interpersonal meaning is communicated in different
genres in that language.
