This book offers a unique window to the study of im/politeness by
looking at a translation perspective, which offers a different set
of data and allows further understanding of the phenomenon. In the
arena of real-life translation practice, the workings of
im/politeness are renegotiated in a different cultural context and
thus pragmatically oriented cross-cultural differences become more
concrete and tangible. The book focuses on the language pair
English and Greek, a strategic choice with Greek as a less widely
spoken language and English as a global language. The two languages
also differ in their politeness orientation in certain genres,
which allows for a fruitful comparison. The volume focuses on press
translation first, then translation of academic texts and
translation for the stage, and finally audiovisual translation
(mainly subtitles). These genres highlight a public, an
interactional, and a multimodal dimension in the workings of
im/politeness.
