Wierność, powinność, uniżoność i inne kategorie grzeczności językowej w finalnych formułach epistolarnych XVIII wieku
Year: 1970
Type: article
Abstract: The article is a study of politeness formulae retained in the eighteenth-century epistolography expressing certain feelings and attitudes of the sender towards the addressee, namely: good will (z prawdziwym afektem), faithfulness (z należytą obserwancją), gratefulness (z nieskończoną rekognicją), duty (z niewzruszoną obligacją), obedience (z najgłębszą submisją). One can treat them as one common category of etiquette because of their approximate semantic value, common pragmatic aim, very similar formal structure and the same final location in the epistolary text. The analysis was based on 305 original, handwritten and unpublished eighteenth-century letters written by several dozens of noblemen. The presented formulae appeared mainly in contacts between the representatives of the aristocracy and the nobility.
