| opposite to polite: The Pragmatics of Politeness Geoffrey N. Leech, 2014 This readable book presents a new general theoretical understanding of politeness. It offers an account of a wide range of politeness phenomena in English, illustrated by hundreds of examples of actual language use taken largely from authentic British and American sources. Building on his earlier pioneering work on politeness, Geoffrey Leech takes a pragmatic approach that is based on the controversial notion that politeness is communicative altruism. Leech's 1983 book, Principles of Pragmatics, introduced the now widely-accepted distinction between pragmalinguistic and sociopragmatic aspects of politeness; this book returns to the pragmalinguistic side, somewhat neglected in recent work. Drawing on neo-Gricean thinking, Leech rejects the prevalent view that it is impossible to apply the terms 'polite' or 'impolite' to linguistic phenomena. Leech covers all major speech acts that are either positively or negatively associated with politeness, such as requests, apologies, compliments, offers, criticisms, good wishes, condolences, congratulations, agreement, and disagreement. Additional chapters deal with impoliteness and the related phenomena of irony (mock politeness) and banter (mock impoliteness), and with the role of politeness in the learning of English as a second language. A final chapter takes a fascinating look at more than a thousand years of history of politeness in the English language. |
| opposite to polite: Impoliteness in Language Derek Bousfield, Miriam A. Locher, 2008-09-25 The volume addresses the enormous imbalance that exists between academic interest in politeness phenomena when compared to impoliteness phenomena. Researchers working with Brown and Levinson's ([1978] 1987) seminal work on politeness rarely focused explicitly on impoliteness. As a result, only one aspect of facework/relational work has been studied in detail. Next to this research desideratum, politeness research is on the move again, with alternative conceptions of politeness to those of Brown and Levinson being further developed. In this volume researchers present, discuss and explore the concept of linguistic impoliteness, the crucial differences and interconnectedness between lay understandings of impoliteness and the academic concept within a theory of facework/relational work, as well as the exercise of power that is involved when impoliteness occurs. The authors offer solid discussions of the theoretical issues involved and draw on data from political interaction, interaction with legally constituted authorities, workplace interaction in the factory and the office, code-switching and Internet practices. The collection offers inspiration for research on impoliteness in many different research fields, such as (critical) discourse analysis, conversation analysis, pragmatics and stylistics, as well as linguistic approaches to studies in conflict and conflict resolution. |

| opposite to polite: Diachrony of Personal Pronouns in Japanese Osamu Ishiyama, 2019-01-15 Personal pronouns in Japanese form a heterogeneous category. This book investigates their historical development from a functional perspective. It shows that while nouns give rise to personal pronouns through semanticization of pragmatic inferences, the use of non-nominal forms such as demonstratives and reflexives for person referents can be resolved within their original functions, offering little reason to treat them as personal pronouns. The cross-linguistic investigation into the common sources of personal pronouns reveals that the development of personal pronouns from nouns is largely consistent with grammaticalization, but that of forms of non-nominal origins requires separate mechanisms such as spatial/empathetic perspectives and displacement of semantic features for politeness, showing that a one-size-fits-all approach to diachrony of personal pronouns is not sufficient. This book will be of special interest to researchers and students in historical linguistics, pragmatics, and Japanese linguistics, who take a functional view of language. |

| opposite to polite: Secrets of Past Lives Wayne Cook, 2018-04-20 A group once counting millions of practitioners successfully uncovered fantastic amounts of information concerning the universe. Discovering anything about the universe outside our small world is an extreme rare event in history. Technically, such depth of information never occurred at any time on Earth, including data recovered by the Magi. This group, Scientology, recovered a profound amount of data, some of which is related within Secrets of Past Lives. Millions of practitioners independently acquired this information before evil destroyed them as a group. Before the downfall, hundreds of thousands of people and more recovered much of the secrets contained within this work. As there are no further people recovering in that church, there is no longer need to keep their secrets from you and from being lost for eternity. For the most part, this book is about you. Your history, your past and what is in your present. Also, Secrets reveals how ability and sanity at least equal to the sanest person you ever met this life can once again become your own without the need of that lost church. Sanity turns out to be nothing like most of us were led to believe. This book contains myriad aspects of this universe in its complexity and its utter simplicity never even suspected, such as what is going on in our world, the solar system, the local group and the entire universe. Revealed are a few great mysteries of science, secrets of Ancient Egypt, continental drift, why we are here, astronomical oddities and a vastly greater understanding of life. You will learn of who controls the core of space and why. You will find out why no one is in control of the remainder. You will discover what causes sunspots, variable densities of space, how our atmosphere smells and why. You will learn why magic does not work well unless it is fun. You will find out why gurus sit on mountaintops. You will find out why and who keep this vital and fascinating data from us. In our past, as we gazed at stars and saw magic and mystery, as we attempted to live on Earth, we fell to share opinions of what is reality from those who yelled the loudest. Our world became a twisted, warring, dangerous place no person should endure. This book dedicates to removing millennia of misinformation to set our sights once more on finding reality out of the ranting of Authority. To the chance of fulfilling our greatest desire: to discover a way to rejoin better worlds. Although reading these secrets is dangerous, you may key-in deeply, you will never look upon life the same again. It is not easy, it is not without risk, but wouldnt you rather know? |

| opposite to polite: Deep Venture Gary Penley, 2011-10-26 A U.S. Navy submariner’s account of his adventurous life in service beneath the waves. Beginning on a cattle ranch in Colorado, this memoir follows a young sailor on his voyage around the world. After enlisting in the U.S. Navy in 1960 and completing the Nuclear Power School program, Gary Penley embarks on a series of adventures-often at risk of his life-while serving on a submarine as a power plant operator. During his seven years with the navy, Penley and his shipmates encounter several frightening situations. While on submerged patrol in the Mediterranean Sea, his submarine, the USS Hamilton, strikes a heavy object, which tears a large hole in the ballast tank and threatens to sink the submarine. Later, they ride out a ferocious storm in the Arctic Circle that nearly submerges the vessel. Another harrowing experience occurs when the sailors, while on a top-secret mission in the Mediterranean during the Six-Day War, are attacked by unknown enemy ships and barely escape unscathed. Throughout his expeditions, Penley stops in such countries as Spain, Scotland, Italy, and Japan. In this captivating memoir, he recounts the coping skills necessary to live in a confined space for extended patrols while facing constant danger—often resulting in hilarious scenarios that only wild submarine sailors could conjure. He also provides a detailed description of the submarine and explains how the machines operate. Written in a candid tone, this memoir carries the reader along for the epic ride. Praise for Deep Venture “Penley uses his naval experience and considerable talent as a storyteller to write a humorous and totally engaging account of life beneath the sea. Against a backdrop of Cold War nuclear deterrence, and the ever-present personal danger faced by submariners, he takes us down the hatch into the claustrophobic confines of his submarine and life among an odd collection of sailors willing to endure the hardship of being submerged and incommunicado for months at a time. . . . A unique and highly entertaining story.” —Michael Archer, author of A Patch of Ground: Khe Sanh Remembered “Clear and lucid writing immediately grips the reader as Penley explores the tension, fear, humor, and adventure of navy and submarine life, enriched with a realism and accuracy that is often missing from such accounts. This story deserves a place on the bookshelf of anyone who reads and admires true stories of adventure at sea.” —James Ennes, author of Assault on the Liberty |

| opposite to polite: The Ladies' Book of Etiquette, and Manual of Politeness Florence Hartley, 1872 In preparing a book of etiquette for ladies, I would lay down as the first rule, Do unto others as you would others should do to you. You can never be rude if you bear the rule always in mind, for what lady likes to be treated rudely? True Christian politeness will always be the result of an unselfish regard for the feelings of others, and though you may err in the ceremonious points of etiquette, you will never be impolite. Politeness, founded upon such a rule, becomes the expression, in graceful manner, of social virtues. The spirit of politeness consists in a certain attention to forms and ceremonies, which are meant both to please others and ourselves, and to make others pleased with us; a still clearer definition may be given by saying that politeness is goodness of heart put into daily practice; there can be no _true_ politeness without kindness, purity, singleness of heart, and sensibility. |
