Paper on contemporary formality

Research
1

Hi everyone,

I can’t believe it is almost two years since the 3rd MSS in Brussels! At the event I presented preliminary work on contemporary formality in professional encounters (not just business meetings). Some of you asked where to find it, and I am sorry that I forgot to post when it was out. The paper presents a conceptual framework for the concept of formality in social interaction. It proposes that formality may be analyzed according to six dimensions: structural–episodic; preemptive–remedial; stipulated–taken-for-granted; instructed–questioned; scripted–negotiated; and excessive–granular.
