Descrizione
This book seeks to explore interpersonal interactions from a pragmatic perspective. The four case studies here presented – drawn from English Restoration drama and contemporary Anglophone audio-visual products – shed light on the way characters manage face-to-face interaction in accordance with their personal goals and the context where the actions take place. The qualitative analyses draw from multiple methods; special attention is devoted to the concept of “face” and im/polite language.
