Journal: Energeia: Online Journal for Linguistics, Language Philosophy
and History of Linguistics
Issue: Teaching verbal politeness in didactic text genres: language
textbooks and (historical) pragmalinguistics

Dialogues that showcase language use in order to promote oral language
competence are a constant feature of foreign language teaching
materials. The norms underlying these dialogues, the everyday
linguistic situations they depict or omit, are subject to historical
change. This is particularly evident in the linguistic and discursive
construction of verbal politeness conveyed in the dialogues. These
dialogues are fictional and didactically oriented, but they
nevertheless draw on the communicative skills of the authors and their
concepts of appropriate behaviour in different situations. The
theoretical and methodological focus is on (historical)
pragmalinguistics and conversation analysis. Contributions may
concentrate on language teaching materials from a historical period or
highlight diachronic developments. Teaching materials from the early
modern period that contain detailed dialogues depicting various
everyday situations are particularly rich in content, but insightful
dialogical models of politeness can also be found in modern foreign
language teaching. The contributions are therefore relatively free in
regard to the choice of time period. The common thread running through
the contributions is the focus on verbal politeness and a combination
of linguistic-philological close reading with
methodological-theoretical reflections on politeness research.
