Tsuru University. Evaluation of politeness: The case of attentiveness [Elektronische Daten] [Saeko Fukushima] This paper attempts to fill a gap in politeness research by introducing the concept of behavioural politeness and including the hearer as a significant component in the proposed analytical framework, which is set in the context of a cross-cultural study. Research into politeness has predominantly focused on linguistic features and on the speaker. Little attention has been paid to politeness as a whole unit of behaviour, and to the perspective of the hearer/receiver, i. e. how the hearer/receiver would judge politeness. It is proposed that politeness manifested through behaviour, i. e. behavioural politeness, and evaluation of politeness by the hearer/receiver are also important, and this paper takes the evaluation of attentiveness as an example of behavioural politeness using subjects from three cultural backgrounds. An attempt is also made to characterise the cultures (British, Japanese and Swiss) involved in this study in order to clarify this significant variable. © Walter de Gruyter Translation & interpretation nationallicence Sociolinguistics nationallicence Multilingua - Journal of Cross-Cultural and Interlanguage Communication Walter de Gruyter 23/4(2004-12-01), 365-387 0167-8507 23:4<365 2004 23 mult https://doi.org/10.1515/mult.2004.23.4.365 text/html Onlinezugriff via DOI 1 research article jats NATIONALLICENCE 856 40 https://doi.org/10.1515/mult.2004.23.4.365 text/html Onlinezugriff via DOI NATIONALLICENCE 100 1- Fukushima Saeko 1.
