Annotation

This paper debates self-quotations as a politeness strategy. It asserts that self-quotations realize linguistic politeness strategies and that the execution of these strategies must be grasped via the discourse event standing in the rear of the self-quotation. Data are 35 self-quotations from a corpus of 13 Hebrew articles written by eastern European women in the 19th century.
