Summary

This volume is dedicated to Maria Sifianou, whose diverse contributions to the study of politeness over the last 30 years have had a significant impact on the development of the field. Her numerous publications have not only helped refine and deepen our understanding of a wide range of politeness phenomena, but have also provided alternative interpretations, enabling us to view politeness through a cultural lens. The volume reflects the remarkable breadth of her scholarship by providing a coherent treatment of politeness as well as a broad multilinguistic perspective, with its 12 chapters examining a wide range of languages and language varieties.
