Politeness in Chinese is a well-researched concept in pragmatics;
however, this pioneering book sheds an original new light on the
subject. It provides a thorough diachronic investigation of Chinese
politeness, and argues for universality in politeness theorizing.
The author takes us on a journey through changes in Chinese
politeness from Confucius to the present day, showing how these
processes are reactions to the changing world, rather than to
changes in the principles of politeness itself. He splits Chinese
face into Face1 and Face2 – the former referring to the person
and the latter to the persona of the speaker - and presents a model
of Chinese politeness (MCP). He then proposes B&L-E (Brown and
Levinson Extended) by incorporating the theoretical constructs of
self-politeness and impoliteness. This title is part of the Flip it
Open Programme and may also be available Open Access. Check our
