Bibliography
Index
In the present study the use of thanking formulae is examined across
different genres and varieties of English. Data is taken from the British
National Corpus and the
Wellington
Corpus of Spoken
Шш
Zealand English.
Employing a form-to-function mapping, thanking formulae are not only
analysed quantitatively, but also qualitatively accounting for local contexts
and genre. Additionally, the status of thanking formulae is examined
in the most prominent models of politeness, and the interpersonal
relation amongst the interlocutors is investigated. The first part is devoted
to a variational analysis, which is supplemented by a genre perspective
in the second part. The findings of the study contribute new insights to
research on thanking (formulae), politeness, variational pragmatics and
media discourse.
