Abstract:

For decades, social perspectives, and even academic studies of language, have
considered clichés as a hackneyed, tired, lazy, unthinking and uninspiring
form of communication. Authored by two established scholars in the fields of
Systemic-Functional Linguistics and Discourse Studies and Pragmatics, this
cutting-edge book comprehensively explores the perception and use of clichés
in language from these complementary perspectives. It draws data from a
variety of both written and spoken sources, to re-interrogate and re-imagine
the nature, role and usage of clichés, identifying the innovative and creative
ways in which the concepts are utilised in communication, interaction, and in
self-presentation. Observing a rich, complex layering of usage, the authors
deconstruct the many and varied ways in which clichés operate and are
interdependently constructed; from the role they play in discourse in general,
to their functions as argumentative strategies, as constructs of social
cognition, as politeness strategies, and finally as markers of identity.
