Daniel has a long-standing interest in language in society, including various interrelated areas such as pragmatics, politeness and (im)politeness, intercultural communication, rituals, and language aggression. He has studied language in a variety of data types, spanning historical novels, to video-recorded interactions, to news articles. He has background in both English and East Asian studies, and since long he has been fascinated by the ways in which people from different cultural background work out their relationships with the help of language.
Daniel is author/editor of 22 volumes, published by world-leading academic publishers, such as Cambridge University Press. His most recent book is Politeness, Impoliteness and Ritual: Maintaining the Moral Order in Interpersonal Interaction (Cambridge University Press, 2017). He is one of the Editors of the Palgrave Handbook of Linguistic (Im)Politeness (Palgrave Macmillan, 2017), and the forthcoming Cambridge Handbook of Sociopragmatics (Cambridge University Press).
I welcome PhD applications in a variety of areas relating to language, culture and society. Interested applicants are warmly welcome to contact me directly.
