Recenzje

'With Politeness, Impoliteness and Ritual: Maintaining the Moral Order in Interpersonal Interaction, Dániel Kádár asserts and cements his place as the driving force behind the ritual turn in pragmatics research in general, and (im)politeness studies in particular. The preface provides an illuminating overview of the subfield, an especially valuable contribution for the uninitiated. … The text is written in a lively, direct style, and the case studies of heckling and bystander intervention are both fun and illuminating.' Mervyn Horgan, Contemporary Sociology
