T1 The Importance of Being Earnest as Regards Both Propositional and Pragmatic Behaviour
A1 Candel Bormann, Daniel
AB Shewan’s by now classic Oscar Wilde: Art and Egotism (1977) suggeststhat in The Importance of Being Earnest, Oscar Wilde’s charactersadhere to Brown & Levinson’s Politeness Principle in their dialogues.This article partly criticizes such an assumption; it holds that inthe dialogues the characters’ utterances flout the Politeness Principle,thus leaving room for Wilde’s conception of the self to come through.The article also states that such a flouting can only be understood byinserting a new variable into Brown & Levinson’s equation Wx = D(S,H)+ P(H,S) + Rx.
