Meeting Description:
Politeness and impoliteness in French and in comparison with other languages
In France, work on linguistic (im)politeness in French originated in the
research on cultural variation and invariants in verbal interactions carried
out by Catherine Kerbrat-Orecchioni in the 1990s. Using this politeness
framework, pragmatics was used to address speech acts from a cross-cultural or
intercultural perspective (Kerbrat-Orecchioni 2000). This research gave rise
to the examination of a variety of speech acts including compliments
(Kerbrat-Orecchioni 2005), offers of and requests for information, requests
(Béal 2010) and invitations (Traverso et al. 2018). Such pragmatic approaches
to (im)politeness in French have also resulted in fieldwork in commercial
sites such as bakeries, butchers, pharmacies, florists, shoe shops, etc. in
France (Kerbrat-Orecchioni 2001) and their comparison with speech act
realizations in communities such as Syria (Traverso 2006), Lebanon and Tunisia
(Dimachki and Hmed 2002). Recent developments on (im)politeness in the
French-speaking world include comparative work based on corpora from
electronic communication (Claudel 2021), in social media (Tobback 2019a,b) or
which take speaker behavior as a starting point (Moallemi 2019).
Call for Papers:
With the present panel, we wish to further develop this research axis by
gathering researchers working on the expression and perception of
(im)politeness in French, as well as from a comparative perspective between
French and another language (Beeching 2019). Propositions that focus on a
comparative perspective are encouraged to highlight the points of convergence
and differences in the behaviors observed in French data in comparison to
practices observed in other languages and/or cultures. Studies on variations
of French (Belgium, Cameroon, Canada, France, Switzerland, etc.) are
especially welcomed. Propositions that deal with methodological and
theoretical aspects of the study of (im)politeness in French and/or from a
comparative perspective are also welcomed/encouraged.
Renowned politeness scholars Véronique Traverso and Kate Beeching have already
accepted our invitation to participate in this panel.
