Jonathan Culpeper is based in the Department of Linguistics and English Language at Lancaster University.
'Stimulating and scholarly … a significant contribution to the
growing research area of rudeness and impoliteness discourse.'
Janet Holmes, Victoria University of Wellington
'Using diverse examples of rudeness, it will fascinate students of
communication and linguistics as it addresses important
controversies in the study of politeness.' Karen Tracy, University
of Colorado, Boulder
'Culpeper's outstanding book documents that the time is ripe for us
to address the urgent social problem of violence in language. In
proposing an insightful theory of impoliteness, Culpeper accurately
reads classic and contemporary linguistic theories and analyses a
wide range of oral and written impoliteness events.' Daniel Silva,
Journal of Language Aggression and Conflict
