Review

Review The research on politeness in spoken language is steadily making progress. Comparatively little research has focused on the use of impoliteness markers in spoken language. Even less research has been devoted to comparative and cross-linguistic investigations of the phenomenon. The book Impoliteness in Corpora which is based on the author’s PhD research is a significant contribution to this under-researched area of pragmatics. First, the book proposes a corpus-driven method of the investigation of impoliteness in corpora. Second, it addresses the question of impoliteness from a crosslinguistic perspective by focusing on everyday conversations in British English and Turkish. The main objective of the study is “to provide a new methodological framework for extracting and analysing impoliteness from corpora” (Çelebi 2015: 9). The book is divided into six chapters.Chapter 1 provides an overview of the objectives of the study and discusses the general methodological framework that underlies the study. This general framework relies on the corpus-driven approach to the study of interaction in conversation. A few words are in order to clarify the distinction between a corpus-driven and corpus-based approach for the readers not familiar with it. According to Tognini-Bonelli (2001) who introduced this distinction, the corpus-driven approach should be preferred http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Lodz Papers in Pragmatics de Gruyter

Abstract

The research on politeness in spoken language is steadily making progress. Comparatively little research has focused on the use of impoliteness markers in spoken language. Even less research has been devoted to comparative and cross-linguistic investigations of the phenomenon. The book Impoliteness in Corpora which is based on the author’s PhD research is a significant contribution to this under-researched area of pragmatics. First, the book proposes a corpus-driven method of the investigation of impoliteness in corpora. Second, it addresses the question of impoliteness from a crosslinguistic perspective by focusing on everyday conversations in British English and Turkish. The main objective of the study is “to provide a new methodological framework for extracting and analysing impoliteness from corpora” (Çelebi 2015: 9). The book is divided into six chapters.Chapter 1 provides an overview of the objectives of the study and discusses the general methodological framework that underlies the study. This general framework relies on the corpus-driven approach to the study of interaction in conversation. A few words are in order to clarify the distinction between a corpus-driven and corpus-based approach for the readers not familiar with it. According to Tognini-Bonelli (2001) who introduced this distinction, the corpus-driven approach should be preferred
