Aims and Scope
Contributions to the Journal of Politeness Research focus on various aspects of politeness as a complex linguistic and non-linguistic phenomenon. The multidisciplinary journal broadens and sharpens the understanding of the nature of politeness by providing a much-needed forum for synergies to develop between researchers approaching politeness from different disciplinary angles. The journal also strengthens and widens the existing cross-cultural and intercultural body of politeness research by encouraging new contributions from lesser-studied cultures and languages. Journal of Politeness Research is associated with the work of the international Linguistic Politeness Research Group (LPRG).

Please see the De Gruyter Mouton journal style sheet for details regarding journal style. If possible, a common wordprocessing program such as WORD should be used. Any special characters used should be labeled and clearly identified at their first occurrence. The Editor-in-Chief reserves the right to reject any articles that do not conform to the requirements.

I welcome a new journal dedicated to politeness studies as it is difficult to think of a recent research space in which more has been contributed to our understanding of interpersonal communication. An editorial team of the highest quality has been assembled to give direction to this new venture and the journal will undoubtedly provide even greater impetus to the expansion of ever more powerful and influential research in the field."
Professor Ronald Carter, School of English Studies, University of Nottingham
"This is a much needed new journal which will provide a focal point for research exploring politeness and impoliteness. Researchers and students can now read about work detailing the latest advances in theory and methodology as well as the latest findings from empirical studies, all in one coherent publication. The journal will be invaluable to anyone working in the field."
Jennifer Coates, Professor of English Language and Linguistics, Roehampton University
