- Double-weighted statement
- This book incorporate seven years of research and is around 10 times as long as an average length article. The length is necessary to carve out a distinct field of enquiry by combining scholarship on taboo language with the perspective of impoliteness theory, which is then applied to numerous case studies along with several other concepts and theories from pragmatics and interactional sociolinguistics. The book involves making technical-theoretical distinctions (between potential and actual offence and between different types of the former) and discussing social relevance (through the critical analysis of documented responses to offending items in the public arena)
