This volume challenges that orthodoxy. Bringing together studies on structures that convey insults, threats and more in a wide range of languages, it shows that there is, in fact, a formal side to impoliteness. The volume reveals shared features of and sources for grammatical expressions of impoliteness, explores ways in which their impolite character can be established and offers new insights into their diachrony. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Daniel Van Olmen\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3111475271\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783111475271\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e de Gruyter Mouton\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/29\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 290\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.49lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.81d","brand":"Daniel Van Olmen","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48217827803391,"sku":"9783111475271","price":129.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_0298a86d-bf55-4917-9cc3-f3f1becce457.jpg?v=1771999711","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-grammar-of-impoliteness-daniel-van-olmen-9783111475271","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
