Abstract:

Much like in everyday life, politeness is key to the smooth running of
relationships and interactions. Professional contexts, however, tend to be
characterised by a plethora of behaviours that may be specific to that
context. They include ‘polite’ behaviours, ‘impolite’ behaviours and
behaviours that arguably fall somewhere between – or outside – such concepts.
The twelve chapters making up this edited collection explore these behaviours
in a range of communication contexts representative of business, medical,
legal and security settings. Between them, the contributions will help readers
to theorize about – and in some cases operationalize (im)politeness and
related behaviours for – these real-world settings. The authors take a broad,
yet theoretically underpinned, definition of politeness and use it to help
explain, analyse and inform professional interactions. They demonstrate the
importance of understanding how interactions are negotiated and managed in
professional settings. The edited collection has something to offer,
therefore, to academics, professionals and practitioners alike.
