Annotation

This paper focuses on the translation of the (im)personalization politeness aspect in a bilingual English originals-Italian translations corpus of EU texts. Given politeness' sociocultural basis, its representation can elucidate EU translation policy influence over the EU's sociolinguistic ecosystem and EU-ers' cultural and identity experiences.
