O językowej grze w tzw. grzeczność, skracaniu dystansu oraz efektywności komunikacyjnej po (nowo)polsku
On the so-called politeness game, distance shortening and communication effectiveness in (new-)Polish

Summary/Abstract: The notion of politeness in language viewed as a type of game seems to have been associated for long with Polish native linguistic studies on pragmatics. Accordingly, in actual usage of contemporary Polish, various techniques of "shortening the distance" between the interaction parties may be observed. This practice is accompanied by a visible lack of trust towards rendering, on the level of language expressions, the actual interpersonal relations, often going beyond current interaction goals and its ad hoc needs. Some possible pragmatic consequences of linguistic and extra-linguistic factors sketched briefly for framework of Polish (new-Polish?) communication reality are presented in the paper.
