Politeness Phenomena in England and Greece: A Cross-Cultural Perspective (Oxford Linguistics)

 
Politeness Phenomena in England and Greece: A Cross-Cultural Perspective (Oxford Linguistics)

Description

A comparative case study of England and Greece which considers the extent to which the concept of politeness is common to different cultures. Maria Sifianou draws her data from a variety of sources, including literature (particularly drama), questionnaires, and personal observation. Her analysis supports the general claim that, despite popular stereotypes, there can be no objective verification for the view that one nation is more polite than another.
