M.M. Stewart, Leo Hickey (Editor)

    Research output: Book/ReportBook

    Abstract

    Politeness as practised across 22 European societies, firmly set within critical debates developed since the 1980s, is here presented in ways related to concrete situations in which language-users interact with one another to achieve their goals. Areas covered include types of politeness, forms of address, negotiation and "small-talk" in various contexts.
