Meeting Description:
The Language and Society Centre (LASC) is
pleased to announce that its 6th Annual
Roundtable will explore ‘(Im)politeness and
language’.
More than 1000 papers, articles and books have
dealt with politeness, most often with a focus
on Brown & Levinson’s well-cited ‘face
management model’ (Locher & Bousfield
2008). Yet, in recent years, a ‘second wave’ of
politeness research has marked a shift away
Brown & Levinson’s model as well as a focus
on impoliteness as a topic worthy of study in
its own right (Culpepper 2011, Haugh,
2014).
In light of this shift, the 6th Annual LASC
Roundtable seeks to assemble scholars concerned
with language and (im)politeness.
