Linguistic politeness in Mexico: Refusal strategies among male speakers of Mexican Spanish (2006, methodology): “…most research on linguistic politeness has focused on analyzing apologies and requests (Blum-Kulka et al., 1989; Holmes, 1995; Márquez Reiter, 2000; Mills, 2003; Trosborg, 1995, among others) and compliments, using tools of conversation analysis (Golato, 2005) or Wolfson’s (1988) ‘Bulge theory’,…”
Politeness and in-directness across cultures: A comparison of English, German, Polish and Russian requests (2009, methodology): “Recent work on politeness focuses on its “chameleon-like” character (Watts 2003) and the ways in which it is negotiated in discourse in particular communities of practice (Mills 2003).”
Beyond the micro-level in politeness research (2005, background): “In this way one simultaneously cancels the validity of the interpretation as capturing participants' own perceptions, and introduces an element of normativity Ϫ namely, the analyst's interpretation Ϫ unwarranted by the facts (Eelen 2001: 141Ϫ 146; Mills 2003: 43).”
Politeness Theory and Relational Work (2005, background): “Secondly, and as a consequence of the first point, no linguistic expression can be taken to be inherently polite (e. g., Holmes 1995; Mills 2003; Watts 2003; Locher 2004).”
Pragmatics: An Advanced Resource Book for Students (2012, background): “The issue of impoliteness mainly introduces Culpeper’s Anatomy of Impoliteness and its criticism from Mills (2003) and Bousfield (2008) in terms of its decontextualisition and ignorance of purposefulness in definition respectively.”
Trolling in asynchronous computer-mediated communication: From user discussions to academic definitions (2010, methodology): “Although in this analysis, four characteristics emerged, this is not to suggest that this list is exhaustive, or representative of all CMC environments.”
