Abstract:

Face has become a key-concept in current socio-pragmatics. By virtue
of its metaphorical force, it enables researchers to explain universal
processes of human communication mostly reflected in language use. Yet
being an English construct, in intercultural comparison, face provokes
critical debates putting in doubt namely its relation to
im/politeness-theories. The 8 articles in this volume tie on these
issues putting face under linguistic scrutiny: With different
approaches and methods, some re-consider the notion of face comparing
labels and expressions in lingua-cultures other than English; others
explore the verbal enactment of face in selected speech acts,
conversational moves and interactional settings.
