Reviews

A fascinating journey through one of the most pervasive dimensions of human interaction, in a civilisation that continues to intrigue and provoke.--Francesca Bargiela-Chiappini, University of Warwick, UK


This is an impressive book which is intended for both researchers in the Chinese language and also for non-Chinese scholars. There is a wealth of examples to illustrate the authors' argument and the book brings great insight into current and historical politeness, but it also forces readers to consider the way that status and deference play a role in politeness and impoliteness in other languages such as English.--Professor Sara Mills, Sheffield Hallam University, UK
