• Title:
  Modals, Speech Acts and (Im)Politeness: Interactions in Shakespeare’s Plays
• Creator:
  Nakayasu, Minako
• Description:
  It has been shown that there are more strategies to save or attack the hearer’s positive face in Shakespeare which are employed with the use of modals. The analysis reinforces the proposal by Kopytko (1993, 1995) that social interactions in Shakespeare’s time were positive politenessoriented, going further to extend the analysis to impoliteness, and suggests the interrelated nature of modality, speech acts and (im)politeness.
