当代社会语言学，ISBN：9787500420712，作者：徐大明，陶红印，谢天蔚著

男士交谈是什么样子？如果一直是墨守陈规的谈话，要么男士们属于强势或安静的类型要么他们咄咄逼人地谈论体育、汽车和饮水开采等方面的话题。这些谈话是正确的吗？当男士相互之间而非与异性群体之间谈论时，男士们谈论的有所不同吗？是不是所有的男性交谈和女性交谈都有所区别？在世纪之交，本书从广泛的背景范围内利用丰富的谈话资源，回答这些问题以及阐释男士们对男性的理解。柯茨调查丁许多自然交流的谈话，包含所有男性群体，范围从休息期间车间工人的闲聊、下班后酒吧里木匠之间的对话到高校学术机构中的话语，以及异性之间等。本书关注的焦点即是发生在这些谈话中的故事。

This study is about the principles for constructing polite speeches. The core of it first appeared in Questions and Politeness, edited by Esther N. Goody (now out of print). It is here reissued with a fresh introduction that surveys the considerable literature in linguistics, psychology and the social sciences that the original extended essay stimulated, and suggests distinct directions for research. The authors describe and account for some remarkable parallelisms in the linguistic construction of utterances with which people express themselves in different languages and cultures. A motive for these parallels is isolated - politeness, broadly defined to include both polite friendliness and polite formality - and a universal model is constructed outlining the abstract principles underlying polite usages. This is based on the detailed study of three unrelated languages and cultures: the Tamil of South India, the Tzeltal spoken by Mayan Indians in Chiapas, Mexico, and the English of the USA and England, supplemented by examples from other cultures. Underneath the apparent diversity of polite behaviour in different societies lie some general pan-human principles of social interaction, and the model of politeness provides a tool for analysing the quality of social relations in any society. This volume will be of special interest to students in linguistic pragmatics, sociolinguistics, applied linguistics, anthropology, and the sociology and social psychology of interaction.

本书出版于1967年，是社会学领域的一本经典。书中考察了知识是怎样形成的、怎样得到代表它的制度和拥护它的人的维持和修正；现实是怎样通过社会互动形成的，人与其共同体之间的符号、象征关系。

此书的面世激活了我中断了几十年语言研究的兴趣，于是不自量地打算为非语言专业的读者，写一部全面论述社会语音现象的专著。那几年是我一生最忙绿和工作最杂乱的时期，我只能利用更深人静的子夜来耕耘我的”自留地”。书写得很苦：大约花了两年多的深宵，写成二十多万字的初稿。稿成，我发现它是一堆巴巴的、教条气味十足破烂文稿，完全违背了我的初衷。

Acompanion to the author's Sociolinguistics of society. this textbook examines the influence of social interaction in language use and discusses a variety of facts about language from the commonplace to the exotic. Questions not normally asked about everyday phenomena are raised and little known facts about language use in social contexts are explored. For example. how does one decide when it is appropriate to address someone by their first name? Why do West Indians in service occupations sometimes seem rude to their customers? Why do men in western societies use more local dialect forms and lower atatus speech forms than do women? Can it be that the often despised languages called pidgin offer important clues to the inborn human capacity for language? These are just a few of the fascinating questions explored in this lively and informative textbook. ------- 目录 王宗炎序 导读 Editor's Preface Introduction 1 Address Forms 2 The Ethnography of Communication 3 Discourse 4 Language and Sex 5 Linguistic Pragmatics：Conversational Implicature 6 More on Linguistic Pragmatics 7 Pidgin and Creole Languages 8 Linguistic Variation 9 Some Aplications of the Sociolinguistics of Language Bibliography Index 文库索引
