This chapter aims to contribute to the historical pragmatic research in Latin through a study of conflictual communication in im/politeness perspective. More specifically, it focuses on impolite and overpolite expressions in confrontations, as two different but related linguistic resources displayed in conflict.The corpus used consists of the comedies of Plautus and Terence, and Donatus' commentaries as source for metapragmatic comments, in order to elucidate ancient evaluation on im/polite phenomena. The results show how power is reflected in speakers' choices, when they are involved in face-attack interactions.

Politeness in ancient Rome: Can it help us evaluate modern politeness theories?

This paper takes four frameworks for understanding linguistic politeness (Brown and Levinson, Watts, Terkourafi, Hall) and tests each on the same corpus to see whether they yield results that are useful and/or in keeping with the other information we have about the material. The corpus used consists of 661 polite requests made in letters by a single Roman author, Cicero. The results demonstrate first that politeness theories are helpful as explanatory tools even in dealing with very well-known material, and second that no one theory is best: different theories are more and less useful in answering different questions about the data. It is therefore suggested that the use of multiple frameworks will provide the best understanding of the data.

“…The Latin imperative is, of course, frequently used without any 'please' word in many types of interaction; the unsoftened imperative was simply not as rude in Latin as it is in English. For an extensive study of this and related phenomena seeRisselada (1993).11 Atticus: 5% with rogo (9 of 169 examples); others: 9% with rogo (3 of 35 examples).12 Cicero's relationship with Terentia eventually soured, and their marriage ended in divorce; language indicative of close relationships is therefore not to be sought in Cicero's last few letters to Terentia. This detail is however irrelevant for our purposes, as those letters do not contain any of the terms under discussion: Cicero's final letters to Terentia are simply devoid of polite expressions.…”
