From Utterances to Speech Acts

By Mikhail Kissine

"Kissine offers a new theory of speech acts which is philosophically sophisticated and builds on work in cognitive science, formal semantics, and linguistic typology. This highly readable, brilliant essay is a major contribution to the field."

--François Recanati, Institut Jean-Nicod

Query:   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
