Unknown Author

4.9/5 (19857 ratings)

Description:This volume explores a pivotal period in European history, the 'long' nineteenth century. Politeness scholars have suggested that the nineteenth century heralds a significant transition in the meanings and realisations of politeness, between the Ancien R�gime and the contemporary period, with the rise of the middle classes as economic, political, social and cultural actors.The central innovation of this volume consists in its use of a wide range of politeness metasources -- grammar books, schoolbooks, conduct books, etiquette books, and letter-writing manuals -- to access social norms. This interdisciplinary approach, which draws on historical linguistics, argumentation theory, appraisal theory and literary stylistics, is applied to a wide range of languages: English, including Scottish and business English, Italian, Spanish, West and South Slavic languages.As a highly coherent collection of innovative research papers, the volume will be welcomed by researchers of (im)politeness, pragmatics and sociolinguistics, both from a historical and contemporary perspective.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
