Women, Men and Politeness focuses on the specific issue of the ways
in which women and men express politeness verbally. Using a range
of evidence and a corpus of data collected largely from New
Zealand, Janet Holmes examines the distribution and functions of a
range of specific verbal politeness strategies in women's and men's
speech and discusses the possible reasons for gender differences in
this area. Data provided on interactional strategies, 'hedges and
boosters', compliments and apologies, demonstrates ways in which
women's politeness patterns differ from men's, with the
implications of these different patterns explored, for women in
particular, in the areas of education and professional careers.
