It offers a thorough examination of distance and power dynamics between waiters and customers in a wide range of restaurant types. This book marks the introduction of Italian to the field of regional pragmatic variation and it will be of interest to linguists, Italianists and researchers more broadly working on service encounters. The author offers a new dimension to the understanding of social interaction and language use in contemporary Italy, uncovering cultural and linguistic differences between even adjacent geographical areas within a modern European nation state"--Provided by publisher.Topics in address researchvolume 2.Forms of addressItalyForms of address306.440945Bresin Agnese1511916MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910794580403321Address variation in sociocultural context3745490UNINA
