C. analyzes fool-master discourse in Shakespeare from a discourse stylistical point of view. She examines the use of pronouns of address (you/thou), the discourse organization and the politeness strategies used by fools and their masters in face-to-faceinteraction. The author tries to show (1) that a pragmatic model of analysis is needed to explain the constant shift of pronoun in Early Modern English, (2) how the power relations obtaining between dramatic characters are manifested by the internal organization of dramatic dialogue, and (3) that Shakespeare's fools orient to face in interaction.
