Impoliteness in Interaction
Quotes
“Impoliteness in Interaction is an insightful read that successfully advocates a dynamic study of not only impoliteness, but discourse in general. Bousfield does an excellent job of showing how impoliteness strategies combine via textual examples and persuasively argues that such strategies do not occur in isolation. The data discussed are entertaining and are used in a succinct manner to demonstrate the intended phenomenon. The book is intended primarily as a reference for those doing research in these areas but would also fit nicely in a graduate-level seminar on politeness, social interaction or pragmatics. Overall, I recommend Impoliteness in Interaction as an illuminating, entertaining and well-researched read that sheds light on a much ignored area of social interaction.”

“Impoliteness in Interaction is the first monograph to focus solely on impoliteness and as such represents a very substantial and impressive contribution to our understanding about what impoliteness is, the ways in which it comes about and how it is realized in the dynamics of actual language use in particular discourses. [...] This book is very much to be welcomed as a thought-provoking, knowledgeable and generally accessible exploration of some important new and difficult theoretical ground in the field of im/politeness research, supported by compelling and interesting data.”
