This collection of 13 original papers focuses on the phenomemon of
politeness in language. It presents the most important problems in
developing a theory of linguistic politeness, which must deal with
the crucial differences between lay notions of politeness in
different cultures and the term "politeness" as a concept within a
theory of lingustic politeness. The universal validity of the term
itself is called into question, as are models by Brown and Levison,
Lakoff and Leech. New approaches are suggested. In addition to this
theoretical discussion, an empirical section presents a number of
case studies and research projects in linguistic politeness. These
show what has been achieved within current models and what still
remains to be done, in particular with reference with
cross-cultural studies in politeness and differences between a
Western and a non-Western approach to the subject.
