The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

Politeness and impoliteness (2011, neutral): “Although, as we have already seen, some researchers have referred to the notion of a frame, it is Marina Terkourafi (e.g. 2001, 2002, 2003, 2005a, 2005b) who goes the whole hog and creates the frame-based approach to politeness, anchoring it in pragmatic theory.”
The co-constitution of politeness implicature in conversation (2007, neutral): “She claims that politeness generally arises in the form of a perlocutionary effect (that is, the belief that the speaker is polite) that relies on generalised implicature (Terkourafi, 2005: 251).”
Conventionalization: A new agenda for im/politeness research (2015, background): “The proposal presented in summary form here, therefore, and elaborated elsewhere (Terkourafi, 2001, 2002, 2003, 2005, forthcoming) is that conventionalized expressions (whenever available for a situation or to a speaker) are used all else being equal, irrespective of the degree of face-threat.”
The discursive challenge to politeness research: An interactional alternative (2007, background): “In addition, quantitative analyses of corpus or elicited data seems to hold no place in the discursive approach (Holmes and Schnurr 2005: 144; Terkourafi 2005a; Usami 2002), nor do insights from experimental approaches (Holtgraves 2005a: 89).”
