About this book
Compliments are among the most widely studied speech acts in pragmatics. The present study takes a new sequential approach by investigating compliments in context, considering compliment form, as part of a Positive Remark continuum, with the respective Response Strategy uttered in response. Analyzed quantitatively and qualitatively in multi-party conversations of the Santa Barbara Corpus of American English, the sequences suggest a connection between the address and reference terms in the Positive Remarks and the strategies chosen as a response.
Reviews
Andrea Golato, Texas State University, in Corpus Pragmatics Vol. 3 (2019):
The book is an informative read for those interested in Positive Remarks, and lays important groundwork for further research on the differences between the various types of Positive Remarks and the connection between evaluative turns and their responses.
