  • Kádár, Dániel Z.; Haugh, Michael (2013): Understanding politeness. 1. publ. Cambridge u.a.: Cambridge University Press

    Abstract: Politeness is key to all of our relationships and plays a fundamental part in the way we communicate with each other and the way we define ourselves. It is not limited only to conventional aspects of linguistic etiquette, but encompasses all types of interpersonal behaviour through which we explore and maintain our relationships. This groundbreaking exploration navigates the reader through this fascinating area and introduces them to a variety of new insights. The book is divided into three parts and is based on an innovative framework which relies on the concepts of social practice, time and space. In this multidisciplinary approach, the authors capture a range of user and observer understandings and provide a variety of examples from different languages and cultures. With its reader-friendly style, carefully constructed exercises and useful glossary, Understanding Politeness will be welcomed by both researchers and postgraduate students working on politeness, pragmatics and sociolinguistics more broadly.

  • Bousfield, Derek; Grainger, Karen (2010): Introduction. Politeness research. Retrospect and prospect. In: Journal of Politeness Research. Language, Behaviour, Culture 6 (2). DOI: 10.1515/jplr.2010.009

    Abstract: In the opening editorial of the Journal of Politeness Research: Language, Behaviour, Culture, Chris Christie (2005: 1) outlined the aims, aspirations, and publications manifesto of the present journal’s editorial board. As Christie then explained: The primary concern is to provide an international and multidisciplinary forum for research into linguistic and non-linguistic politeness phenomena, and for research that draws on or develops any model of politeness. The aim is to foster the advancement of theories of politeness; to further the development of methodologies for describing and explaining politeness phenomena; and to broaden our understanding of social and cultural phenomena by publishing reports of empirical studies across cultures, languages, and interactional contexts that are based on rigorous methodologies deriving from sound models of politeness. The journal is aimed primarily at researchers, but it has always been the editorial board’s intention to ensure that the articles that appear in the journal are accessible to both undergraduate and graduate students with an interest in issues around politeness.

  • Holtgraves, Thomas (2005): Social Psychology, Cognitive Psychology, and Linguistic Politeness. In: Journal of Politeness Research. Language, Behaviour, Culture 1 (1), S. 73-93. DOI: 10.1515/jplr.2005.1.1.73

    DOI: https://doi.org/10.1515/jplr.2005.1.1.73 

    Abstract: Politeness can be viewed as a theoretical construct existing at the intersection of cultural, social, cognitive, and linguistic processes. Because of this, an understanding of politeness requires an understanding of its social-cognitive underpinnings, and conversely, an understanding of many social-cognitive phenomena can be improved by considering the role played by politeness in those processes. In this article I review research on the social-cognitive underpinnings of politeness, focusing particularly on the concepts of face and face-work and the relationship between linguistic politeness and several social-cognitive variables. I also discuss the relevance of politeness phenomena for several research areas in social and cognitive psychology, including person perception and impression management, cross-cultural communication, and language comprehension.
