Abstract:

Politeness and impoliteness are not just expressed by words. People
communicate polite and impolite attitudes towards each other through their
intonation, tone of voice, their facial expressions, their gestures, the
positioning of their bodies towards each other, and so on. This volume brings
together eleven empirical studies that investigate these various modalities of
im/politeness across signed, spoken and written languages, plus a detailed
introductory chapter that establishes a framework for the multimodal
investigation of im/politeness. The papers cover a range of languages and
cultures, including Swiss German Sign Language, Catalan Sign Language, English
(as a native language and as a lingua franca), Korean, Catalan, Persian,
Japanese and Spanish. Using a range of data sources and state-of-the art
methodologies, the papers reveal that these multimodal features are essential
aspects of im/politeness across different languages, cultures and modes of
interaction. Put together, the findings from these studies lay the groundwork
for a new understanding of im/politeness which is fundamentally multimodal.
