Abstract: Since the late 1970s Brown and Levinson's work on politeness has been a bestseller and to this day it is a fundamental work that still finds many followers. However, in the late 1990s and in the 2000s politeness research in the Brown and Levinsonian tradition has been challenged and new ideas have been tested. We can now look back on more than thirty years of active politeness research that has recently also started to widen its scope to include the study of impoliteness as well. This talk aims at presenting important research trends from the past and present and will indicate some of the challenging issues that we are facing in the future.
