The Grammar of Impoliteness is written by Daniel Van Olmen and published by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG. It's available with International Standard Book Number or ISBN identification 3111477088 (ISBN 10) and 9783111477084 (ISBN 13).
The dominant view in linguistics nowadays is that impoliteness is purely a matter of situational assessments by speech participants. This volume challenges that orthodoxy. Bringing together studies on structures that convey insults, threats and more in a wide range of languages, it shows that there is, in fact, a formal side to impoliteness. The volume reveals shared features of and sources for grammatical expressions of impoliteness, explores ways in which their impolite character can be established and offers new insights into their diachrony.
