  • Pray, Sir, Proceed”: The politeness of requests in epistolary novels of the long eighteenth century

    Open AccessAndreas H JuckerARTICLEJournal of Historical Pragmatics2026References: 5

    Requests are speech acts that ask somebody to do something that they might not have done without being asked. They impose on the addressee. In Present-day English, a range of linguistic devices are often used to make this imposition more palatable, such as questions about the addressee’s willingness or ability to carry out the required action and the use of the courtesy request marker please . However, this form of non-imposition politeness is re…

  • Corpus Analysis of Pragmatic Meaning

    Open AccessAndreas H JuckerCHAPTEREncyclopedia of Applied Linguistics2025

    Pragmatics studies the production and interpretation of meaning in contexts. Corpus tools can help to investigate pragmatic meanings by retrieving large numbers of relevant strings for pragmatic analysis from corpora that are too extensive for manual inspection. Thus, corpus pragmatics can be seen as a bridge between the careful horizontal reading of the pragmaticist, that is, the interpretation of individual occurrences in their context, and the…

  • Pragmatics: Research Methods

    Open AccessAndreas H JuckerCHAPTEREncyclopedia of Applied Linguistics2023

    Pragmatics uses a broad range of research methods. While its origins can be found in the introspectional methods of language philosophers, more recent approaches tend to favor empirical research methods based on experimentation and observation. Introspectional methods are based on philosophical and cognitive considerations of intuited language samples. Experimental methods make use of a range of different elicitation techniques involving both pro…

  • Conduct politeness versus etiquette politeness: A terminological distinction

    Open AccessAndreas H JuckerARTICLEJournal of Politeness Research2023Cited by: 1References: 12

    This paper argues for a distinction between “conduct politeness” and “etiquette politeness”, where the former refers to the propriety of what people do and the latter to the decorum of how people do things. In everyday discourse, the distinction is often fuzzy, but as a second order distinction the terminology provides a useful analytical tool. In the history of politeness in English, a bifurcation into the two types of politeness can be observed…

  • Features of orality in the language of fiction: A corpus-based investigation

    Open AccessAndreas H JuckerARTICLELanguage and Literature…2021

    This paper explores the pervasiveness of features of orality in the language of performed fiction. Features of orality are typical of spontaneous spoken conversations where they are the result of the ongoing planning process and the interaction between the interlocutors, but they also occur in the context of performed fiction (movies and plays) and in narrative fiction (e.g. novels). In these contexts, they are not the result of the spontaneous p…

    Open AccessLarssyn Staley, Andreas H JuckerARTICLEJournal of Pragmatics2021Cited by: 1References: 24

    Recent work on the elements uh and um has focused both on their functional profile and on the sociodemographic patterns of use. They have been shown to be more than just a signal of some trouble in the speech production process; they also perform text structuring functions that are usually ascribed to discourse markers. And their use has been shown to stratify according to gender, age and level of education (e.g. Tottie 2011, 2014). However, such…

  • Politeness in eighteenth-century drama: A discursive approach

    Andreas H JuckerARTICLEJournal of Politeness Research2016References: 4

    Fictional texts constitute complex communicative acts between an author and an audience, and they regularly depict interactions between characters. Both levels are susceptible to an analysis of politeness. This is particularly true for early eighteenth-century drama, which – in the context of the age of politeness – established new dramatic genres to educate and edify their audiences. Characters were used to demonstrate good or bad behaviour as e…

    This paper provides an outline of the changes in linguistics that gave rise to historical pragmatics in the 1990s and that have shaped its development over the twenty years of its existence. These changes have affected virtually all aspects of linguistic analyses: the nature of the data, the research questions, the methods and tools that are being used for the analysis, as well as the nature of the generalizations and findings that result from th…

    Diachronic corpus pragmatics extends the pragmatic perspective to developments in the history of various languages and uses corpus-linguistic methods to trace them. The chapters in this volume focus on linguistic elements at several levels, from individual words to phrases, clauses and entire genres and discourse forms. Using the most recent corpus tools, the authors investigate correlations between forms, functions and contexts in diachronic cas…
