By virtue of its metaphorical force, it enables researchers to explain universal processes of human communication mostly reflected in language use. Yet being an English construct, in intercultural comparison, \u003ci\u003eface\u003c\/i\u003e provokes critical debates putting in doubt namely its relation to \u003ci\u003eim\/politeness\u003c\/i\u003e-theories. The 8 articles in this volume tie on these issues putting \u003ci\u003eface\u003c\/i\u003e under linguistic scrutiny: With different approaches and methods, some re-consider the notion of \u003ci\u003eface\u003c\/i\u003e comparing labels and expressions in lingua-cultures other than English; others explore the verbal enactment of \u003ci\u003eface\u003c\/i\u003e in selected speech acts, conversational moves and interactional settings.","brand":"Gudrun Held","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48310623600891,"sku":"9789004694842","price":143.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0779\/3917\/9771\/files\/CoreSourceHub_276e509f-2bea-4cc4-bcc6-e8ebe11278d2.jpg?v=1774775549","url":"https:\/\/indiepubs.com\/products\/face-new-facets-of-a-sociopragmatic-concept-9789004694842","provider":"IndiePubs","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
