Studies in Interactional Sociolinguistics #0004: Politeness: Some Universals in Language Usage Cover

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

A new introduction surveys the considerable literature in linguistics, psychology and social sciences that the original essay on the phenomenon of politeness stimulated.

Review:

It has continued to inspire empirical work as 'the' source on politeness and, more generally, as an important exemplar in the study of the relationship between language and society. In addition, the broad scope of their treatment of these concerns has created a work in which many, if not most, of the assumptions guiding the contemporary study of language use are to found." Douglas G. Glick, Semiotica (1996)

Synopsis:

This study is about the principles for constructing polite speech.
