Abstract

This volume aims at disseminating ideas about the problems that arise in the study of (im)politeness, face, identity, attenuation, intensification and argumentation; to account for the socio-cultural contexts that underlie such studies; to encourage the development of contrastive studies between different methodologies for the study of those phenomena; to contribute to the development of alternative theoretical models that explain and describe the methodological processes to address the problems that arise in research (im)politeness and related phenomena; to stimulate its study from a socio-cultural perspective; to improve the possibilities of research and teaching at universities and institutions.
