Synopsis

This book focuses on teaching and learning Chinese linguistic (im)politeness and bridges the gap between research on Chinese linguistic (im)politeness and the context of teaching Chinese as an international language. Specifically, it investigates the pragmatics of (im)politeness, focusing on how (im)politeness is presented in current textbooks, and includes a comparative analysis of the treatment and explanation of (im)politeness and politeness strategies within these textbooks. Additionally, the various chapters examine instructors’ and lecturers’ perceptions of teaching and learning linguistic (im)politeness. By filling in a research gap in the teaching and learning of Chinese linguistic (im)politeness, this book provides valuable insights and perspectives on the practical applications of politeness strategies in additional language teaching.
