This collection of 13 original papers focuses on the phenomenon of politeness in language. It presents the most important problems in developing a theory of linguistic politeness, which must deal with the crucial differences between lay notions of politeness in different cultures and the term ‘politeness’ as a concept within a theory of linguistic politeness. The universal validity of the term itself is called into question, as are models such as those developed by Brown and Levinson, Lakoff, and Leech. New approaches are suggested. In addition to this theoretical discussion, an empirical section presents a number of case studies and research projects in linguistic politeness. These show what has been achieved within current models and what still remains to be done, in particular with reference to cross-cultural studies in politeness and differences between a Western and a non-Western approach to the subject.

The second edition of this collection of 13 original papers contains an updated introductory section detailing the significance that the original articles published in 1992 have for the further development of research into linguistic politeness into the 21st century.The original articles focus on the phenomenon of politeness in language.

Emancipatory Pragmatics represents a unique contribution to the field of pragmatics. Most research in the field has focused on English and other Western languages, but the study of Japanese and other non-Western languages, as is done in this volume, has led to a broader understanding of language use. Here, thirteen articles each break new ground by discussing the application of ba theory to pragmatics research. Ba and basho, which are Japanese terms often translated as “field” or “context”, are central to expanding the theory of pragmatics to explain features not only of non-Western languages, but of all languages. By presenting an introduction to the perspective of Emancipatory Pragmatics, and discussing ba theory in detail, it becomes obvious that this is an innovative approach to questions relevant for the study of all languages. Thus, it is useful both for students new to the field, as well as for seasoned researchers.
