{"product_id":"canadian-politeness-truth-or-stereotype-von-philipp-freund","title":"Canadian politeness. Truth or stereotype?","description":"\u003cp\u003eSeminar paper from the year 2017 in the subject Communications - Specialized communication, grade: 1.7, University of Würzburg (Neuphilologisches Institut), course: English in Canada, language: English, abstract: ¿Is Our Politeness Holding us Back¿ (Souvaliotis 2011)? This very title indicates a major concern about language. The author is thinking about Canada which is stereotypically said to be the politest countries in the world. Or, like the novelist Bissoondath put it in: ¿We are a country of good heart, a country on the whole of courage and goodwill [¿]¿ (2006: 25). Souvaliotis continues and analyzes that Canadians voice their ¿concerns so gently packaged and tightly buried in their talk that most listeners would naturally smile¿ (2011). \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eScientifically, this prejudice seems to be incredible, which is why this paper needs to be written. The title and research question, hence, can be stated as ¿Canadian Politeness ¿ A never-ending stereotype or just the truth about the friendliest country?¿ and should outline whether Canadians are more polite than others and if so, why. The hypothesis states in fact a more kindly and friendly way of speaking, though, it just occurs in a sense of habit and not manner.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"aw-variant-hidden-subtitle-div\" id=\"aw-variant-subtitle-9783668544604\"\u003e\u003ch3\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Libri","offers":[{"title":"Softcover - 9783668544604","offer_id":39436931432541,"sku":"9783668544604","price":17.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0940\/0622\/files\/4f93eec3-93c8-494d-a951-d6409f494cf6.jpg?v=1778473076","url":"https:\/\/shop.autorenwelt.de\/products\/canadian-politeness-truth-or-stereotype-von-philipp-freund","provider":"Autorenwelt Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
