The present volume aims to contribute to current knowledge and understanding of the subject by giving a broad picture of politeness across twenty-two European countries, addressing the essential debates at the heart of politeness studies. Each chapter attempts to provide an empirical snapshot, based on sound theoretical principles, of the issues and practices in its own society.  Some of the contributors engage directly with critical thinking on politeness theory, using data from their languages and cultures to advance theoretical frameworks, while others highlight the forms politeness takes in particular cultural contexts, analysing how individuals interact with each other in ways intended to achieve their communicative goals. The volume treats questions such as whether a given society favours positive politeness or negative politeness, the use of formal or informal pronouns of address, small-talk, conventional politeness formulas and how politeness practices change over time. 410 0$aMultilingual Matters S., V.127 606 $aSociolinguistics$zEurope 606 $aEtiquette$zEurope 615 0$aSociolinguistics 615 0$aEtiquette 676 $a306.44/094 701 $aHickey$b Leo$0530553 701 $aStewart$b Miranda$f1954-$01296078 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910823362603321 996 $aPoliteness in Europe$93977557 997 $aUNINA
