Abstract:

Apologies are ubiquitous in contemporary societies, yet their meanings
and functions are rarely straightforward. <i>Online Apologies in
Japanese</i> provides a comprehensive account of how three Japanese
expressions commonly considered apologetic (<i>gomen, su(m)imasen</i>
and <i>mōshiwake arimasen</i>) work in a data set collected from the
Q&A website Yahoo! Chiebukuro. The focus is on three variables: their
pragmatic functions, the discursive strategies they co-occur with, and
the events and behaviours that warrant them.
Theoretically, this book introduces a combination of established and
emerging approaches in the field of pragmatics. Methodologically, it
brings together corpus linguistics and discourse analysis for the
study of Japanese. En route, it contains numerous insights on the
speech act of apology, (im)politeness and related areas in a
non-Western context.

Linguistic Field(s): Discourse Analysis
                     Pragmatics
