Qs: Politeness/Impoliteness Strategies in Interviews

Editor for this issue: Zac Smith <zaclinguistlist.org>

We'd like to remind readers that the responses to queries are usually best posted to the individual asking the question. That individual is then strongly encouraged to post a summary to the list. This policy was instituted to help control the huge volume of mail on LINGUIST; so we would appreciate your cooperating with it whenever it seems appropriate.

In addition to posting a summary, we'd like to remind people that it is usually a good idea to personally thank those individuals who have taken the trouble to respond to the query.

To post to LINGUIST, use our convenient web form at http://linguistlist.org/LL/posttolinguist.cfm.

Subject: Politeness/Impoliteness Strategies in Interviews
E-mail this message to a friend

I am doing an MA dissertation examining politeness and impoliteness
strategies used within political interviews (e.g. Jeremy Paxman interviews)

I was wondering if anyone is aware of any research published which has
looked at a similar subject i.e. politeness/ impoliteness strategies used in any
form of interviews.

I am particulary interested in when interviews go ''wrong'' and there are
arguments or conflicts.

Any help that may point me in the right direction of some papers would be
gratefully recieved as I have examined the literature and am struggling to find
anything
