This book presents the first large-scale investigation of the
structure and functions of linguistic impoliteness and impoliteness
metalanguage in contemporary British children's fiction. The study
ties together findings from pragmatics, language acquisition
research, literary studies, and translation studies with novel
data-driven insights. The study shows that children's fiction
prefers direct, unmitigated impoliteness tokens to highlight key
aspects of plot and characterisation. Impoliteness metalanguage is
used to clarify impoliteness events to the child. The study
provides a framework for the investigation of impoliteness in
translation, which gives evidence of pragmatic differences, as well
as differing views of children's cognitive abilities in two
linguacultures.
