Intended and Unintended Offence

  • Conference paper

Part of the book series: Smart Innovation, Systems and Technologies ((SIST,volume 26))

Abstract

This paper argues that politeness and impoliteness are integrally related to offence management. The outlines of a semantic theory of linguistic politeness are sketched. As a semantic theory, interfaces to both pragmatics and compositional syntax may be expected, but these are spelled out in companion papers.
