Politeness in Chinese is a highly researched concept within pragmatics, and this groundbreaking book offers a fresh and original perspective on the subject. It conducts a comprehensive diachronic examination of Chinese politeness, advocating for a universal approach to politeness theorizing. The author guides us on a journey through the evolution of Chinese politeness, revealing how these changes respond to the ever-changing world rather than altering the fundamental principles of politeness itself. He divides Chinese face into Face1, which represents the person, and Face2, which encompasses the speaker's persona. He presents a model of Chinese politeness (MCP) and further extends it with the incorporation of self-politeness and impoliteness theoretical constructs. This title is part of the Flip it Open Programme and may also be accessible Open Access. For more details, please visit Cambridge Core on our website.
