{"product_id":"9781863358422","title":"Power And Politeness Between Native And Non-Native Speakers","description":"This book presents the findings of an empirical study on face and power relationships between native and non-native speakers of English. Based on twenty audio-recorded conversations, the work provides valuable insight into communication between native and non-native speakers, especially as far as politeness and interactional dominance are concerned. The underlying hypothesis was that \"nativity\" would constitute a source of power and that this would be reflected in conversational practices such as politeness strategies and interactional dominance. The politeness strategies covered include attending to one's interlocutor's self-image and needs, complimenting, supportive responses and in-group solidarity. Signs of interactional power include topic control, talkativeness, interruption and questions, among others.","brand":"Common Ground Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49833607659760,"sku":"9781863358422","price":40.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781863358422","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
