I sometimes think that Professor Maria Sifianou’s eminence in the field of linguistic politeness studies – and her total pre-eminence in the field of Greek linguistic politeness research – remain something of a surprise to her. If so, then I would like the readers of this fine volume, published in her honour, to know that this is most definitely not my fault.
This volume is dedicated to Maria Sifianou, whose diverse contributions to the study of politeness over the last 30 years have had a significant impact on the development of the field. Her numerous publications have not only helped refine and deepen our understanding of a wide range of politeness phenomena, but have also provided alternative interpretations, enabling us to view politeness through a cultural lens. The volume reflects the remarkable breadth of her scholarship by providing a coherent treatment of politeness as well as a broad multilinguistic perspective, with its 12 chapters examining a wide range of languages and language varieties.
