'Funny how a simple drunken kiss can change your life...' Melancholic Avenue, a contemporary love story based in a European capital, presents us with the day-to-day-life of a carefree but appealing 26-year-old womanizer who's been teaching English as a foreign language for over a year. It introduces us to the various women he knows or chases after, and the changes he goes through until all suddenly turns upside down and he becomes a person transformed, later perhaps able to finally redeem himself.

John, the younger brother of the late Richard I, is the king, and a savage one. His opponent is a boy, his nephew Arthur, supported by the King of France and the Duke of Austria.

Pragmatic and sociolinguistic analyses of im/politeness have usually been dependent on context and cultural frames of reference. This new study approaches the concept from an original perspective, namely situatedness. Although politeness research often concentrates on examining how speeches or discourses themselves are situated with regards to different places and contexts, the focus on just one situation, and various text types within it, can also be of value. Situated Politeness is concerned with disentangling the factors which govern our behaviour within a given social context as well as across them. A range of expanding disciplines, including corpus linguistics, critical discourse analysis, and conversation analysis, are brought to bear on the topic, and this work will be of interest to a diverse global audience.
