Reviews & endorsements
‘… From Speech Acts to Lay Understandings of Politeness is a completely coherent volume that provides new insights into SA realization and the metapragmatics of face-threat and (im)politeness. Adopting a cross-cultural and cross-varietal perspective, it will appeal to politeness scholars, of course, but also to researchers interested in empirical and corpus-based pragmatics and willing to privilege data triangulation in their investigations.’ Nicolas Ruytenbeek, LINGUIST List
