Más información sobre el libro

The seminar paper explores the adaptability of two pragmatic approaches to language in relation to politeness. It specifically examines whether Penelope Brown and Stephen C. Levinson's model of politeness can be fully articulated using the framework and terminology established by H.P. Grice. The study delves into the interplay between these linguistic theories, aiming to uncover potential overlaps and integrations in their perspectives on language use.
