This collection of research essays from 17 scholars of linguistics and communication, is mostly empirically based, and examines and defines politeness, face and culture nationally and internationally. The work is intended for scholars and advanced students in the areas, and sub-areas, of linguistics and sociology to aid in understanding inter, and intra-cultural relationships.
