In this book, Yasuko Obana provides an integrated account of what signifies Japanese politeness. She also carves out politeness strategies in Japanese, which have not adequately been explored to date in spite of their distinctive nature that they often reflect social indexicality just as honorifics."-- UR - https://www.taylorfrancis.com/books/9780429299469 UR - http://www.oclc.org/content/dam/oclc/forms/terms/vbrl-201703.pdf ER -
