The volume addresses the enormous imbalance that exists between
academic interest in politeness phenomena when compared to
impoliteness phenomena. Researchers working with Brown and
Levinson's ([1978] 1987) seminal work on politeness rarely focused
explicitly on impoliteness. As a result, only one aspect of
facework/relational work has been studied in detail. Next to this
research desideratum, politeness research is on the move again,
with alternative conceptions of politeness to those of Brown and
Levinson being further developed. In this volume researchers
present, discuss and explore the concept of linguistic
impoliteness, the crucial differences and interconnectedness
between lay understandings of impoliteness and the academic concept
within a theory of facework/relational work, as well as the
exercise of power that is involved when impoliteness occurs. The
authors offer solid discussions of the theoretical issues involved
and draw on data from political interaction, interaction with
legally constituted authorities, workplace interaction in the
factory and the office, code-switching and Internet practices. The
collection offers inspiration for research on impoliteness in many
different research fields, such as (critical) discourse analysis,
conversation analysis, pragmatics and stylistics, as well as
linguistic approaches to studies in conflict and conflict
resolution.
