About this book

Interdisciplinary Perspectives on Im/politeness brings together the work of linguists, psychologists, neuroscientists, and second language experts in order to provide readers with a snapshot of the possibilities for studying im/politeness in the 21st century. The volume is organized along methodological lines in three parts each preceded by a brief introduction outlining the evolution and advantages and disadvantages of the relevant methodologies, while a specially commissioned epilogue places the volume in the field as a whole. Part I is dedicated to self-reporting studies, Part II covers observational studies, and Part III introduces experimental studies. A central goal of the present collection is to make a case for the relevance of all these types of data and of both quantitative and qualitative methodologies to the ongoing theoretical debates in the field of im/politeness.

Readers of Terkourafi’s volume, Interdisciplinary Perspectives on Im/politeness, will be rewarded with an up-to-date snapshot of contemporary research on Im/politeness. The topics covered range from observational studies of goading to electrophysiological reactions to address terms. The diversity of methods and richness of the findings in this volume are a testament to the vibrancy and importance of research in the area of Im/politeness.
