If you would like to add references to this bibliography, please e mail Dániel Z. Kádár.
Note: Whilst the present bibliography predominantly includes linguistic politeness studies, it also
lists a number of books and papers that deal with the cultural aspects rather than the
strict-sense linguistic manifestations of the notion of ‘politeness’ in historical settings. We
include these titles because we believe that these studies contribute to our understanding
of historical linguistic practices of politeness and impoliteness.
