Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - This volume demonstrates how inductive research into speakers' metapragmatic knowledge offers a path for researching what politeness means for language users and how this reshapes politeness theory.

The results shows that politeness is a multimodal practice tied up with maintaining emotional attunement and engaging in acts of upkeeping or contesting social conventions. The book features a thorough overview of extant research in the field, three in-depth data analysis chapters and a detailed discussion of the results. By focusing on the culture-specific and empirically grounded ways that language users understand politeness, the book contributes to current trends in im/politeness research, notably 'third wave' approaches that view politeness as a culturally embedded social action. Moreover, the book lays the groundwork for researching metapragmatics via interview data that can be applied to other languages and aspects of pragmatics.This book is a must-read for scholars and students of politeness research, pragmatics, linguistics and cultural studies.…
