Abstract:

Beyond binaries in address research: Politeness and identity practices
in interaction shifts the focus of address studies away from the
traditional T/V opposition and toward a more flexible, contextually
situated framework. The volume brings together linguistic phenomena
that do not fit neatly within the formal/informal duality. The
chapters explore several languages, including European Portuguese,
Spanish varieties, Caribbean Dutch, Swedish, German, Bosnian,
Hungarian, and Syrian Arabic. The analytical approaches are equally
diverse, challenging binary dis-tinctions through quantitative methods
such as survey response analysis, attitudinal experi-ments using the
Matched Guise Test, data clustering, and qualitative analyses of
interaction and metadiscourse. The ten chapters are accompanied by an
introduction that situates the discussion within the broader critique
of binary approaches to address over time.
This book will interest scholars engaged in address research, broadly
defined to include socio-linguistics, language variation and change,
pragmatics, politeness studies, comparative linguis-tics, and
intercultural communication.
