Abstract

This project analyses two speech acts, greetings and goodbyes, in a collection of letters written in the Canary Islands between 1740 and 1820. It aims to offer some insight about how changes in society (i.e. the transition from a feudal society to a capitalist, class-based one) shape the way politeness is understood, and how this may affect linguistic forms, especially the aforementioned speech acts.
