Politeness serves to manage social relations or is wielded as an
instrument of power. Through good manners, people demonstrate their
educational background and social rank. This is the first book to
bring together the most recent scholarship on politeness and
impoliteness in Ancient Greek and Latin, signalling both its
universal and its culture-specific traits. Leading scholars analyse
texts by canonical classical authors (including Plato, Cicero,
Euripides, and Plautus), as well as non-literary sources, to
provide glimpses into the courtesy and rudeness of Greek and Latin
speakers. A wide range of interdisciplinary approaches is adopted,
namely pragmatics, conversation analysis, and computational
linguistics. With its extensive introduction, the volume introduces
readers to one of the most dynamic fields of Linguistics, while
demonstrating that it can serve as an innovative tool in
philological readings of classical texts.
