Questions and Politeness: Strategies in Social Interaction - Cambridge Papers in Social Anthropology
Esther N. Goody
These essays draw on material from speech communities in three continents to raise fundamental questions about the ways in which interrogative and politeness forms are used in day-to-day social interaction. The authors suggest that interrogative and politeness forms have universal features which make them efficient for certain strategies of interaction.
