  • Kaul de Marlangeon, Silvia; Alba-Juez, Laura (2012): A TYPOLOGY OF VERBAL IMPOLITENESS BEHAVIOUR FOR THE ENGLISH AND SPANISH CULTURES. In: REVISTA ESPANOLA DE LINGUISTICA APLICADA (25), S. 69-92

    Abstract: The present study takes as its point of departure Kaul de Marlangeon's (2008a) typology of verbal impoliteness in the Spanish-speaking cultures, and, using a corpus of English, attempts to test its validity and/or application to the English-speaking cultures. In that typology, the different types of impolite acts in the Spanish-speaking culture share in common either the intention to be impolite or the absence thereof. This common intention or lack of it is thought to be reflected and regulated by the culture in question. The main aim of such a typology was to find a taxonomy that would focus on the differences regarding impolite attitudes and behaviour within and along an impoliteness continuum. The results obtained make us feel inclined to argue in favour of the existence of more similarities than differences between the two macrocultures under scrutiny with respect to the types of impoliteness found in them.
