Politeness Revisited: Cross-Modal Supportive Strategies.

Arndt, Horst; Janney, Richard W.

IRAL, v23 n4 p281-300 Nov 1985

After a summary and critique of traditional approaches to politeness that are based on appropriateness, suggestions are made for an approach based on interpersonal supportiveness. The issues in the proposed model pertain to cross-modal ways of expressing emotion, supportive and nonsupportive use combinations, and a redefinition of politeness. (SED)
