metadata.name: dc.description.abstract
metadata.value: The article aims to study the metalinguistic characteristics of polite communication.
  The analysis is carried out on the material of German art history texts of the 18th century.
  Through the comparison of art history texts written by J. J. Winckelmann, J. G. Herder
  and H. E. Lessing it is being revealed how and for what purpose the authors of these
  texts use formulas of politeness. The analysis is based on the theoretical foundations of
  pragmatic linguistics, sociolinguistics and metatext research. The results show that the
  actualisers of positive politeness include, for example, adjectives with the meaning of
  confidence, emotional expressions and the inclusive pronoun wir. By using these tools
  the author seeks to solidarise with the reader in the general academic field. Negative
  politeness strategies are used by the author to avoid imposing their views on the reader.
  The following negative politeness strategies were discovered: showing caution by
  hedging, demonstrating a lack of desire to impose one’s point of view and attributing
  all responsibility for what is written by personalisation. The results demonstrate that
  in research articles the reader is actively, albeit invisibly, present in the text. In general,
  positive politeness strategies are used by researchers to demonstrate solidarity with
  the fellow researchers and the research community at large. Negative strategies either
  depersonalise the information conveyed or, on the contrary, personalise it. Both
  approaches aim not to put any pressure on the reader.
