Abstract:

The past few decades have witnessed a veritable research boom in
interlanguage, cross-cultural, and contrastive pragmatics, as well as
in the area of (im)politeness, resulting in a widening perspective
with regard to data types, objects of inquiry, and analytical methods.
The present edition takes stock of recent developments in the field,
as well as offering a selection of empirical papers that explore new
research avenues, with a focus on different types of variation in
English, on the use of a variety of different data collection
procedures, and on a variety of face-threatening acts.

In the first part of this collection, it is discussed how these three
areas of pragmatic research relate to, and differ from, each other, as
well as examining a number of methodological issues relevant for
studying pragmatic variation. The second part brings together a number
of papers on interlanguage English, with an emphasis on the benefits
and drawbacks of using controlled elicitation data. The contributions
in the third and final  section focus on contrastive and
cross-cultural pragmatics, with special reference to the use of more
naturalistic data.
