Summary: Politely Speaking
Comment: Brown and Levinson's classic treatment of linguistic politeness is quite possibly the most widely cited work on the subject. Their theory of politeness is based on the notion of "face," that is, the twin desires to be unimpeded and approved, and takes politeness to be speech that addresses one or both of these "face needs."

In this re-issue of the original work, the authors expand their analysis to incorporate and respond to the considerable body of literature generated by their original work.

This book is a must for students of applied linguistics, sociolinguistics, sociology and anthropology.
