One of the arguments to be made is that&nbsp;the interpretation of impoliteness in Congo-Brazzaville is co-constructed on the basis of the users\u2019 abilities to interpret and negotiate the meaning behind the use of not just one, but the various languages in the interaction.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Wednesday 25th\u00a0January, 1-2pm County South B89 The case of Congo-Brazzaville Jean Mathieu Tsoumou, La Universidad Europea de Madrid, Spain Impoliteness research is increasingly going from western-centric grounds into exploring other [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1533,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[7],"tags":[13,10],"class_list":["post-1240","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-past-event","tag-congo","tag-impoliteness"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/wp.lancs.ac.uk\/decolonising\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1240","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/wp.lancs.ac.uk\/decolonising\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/wp.lancs.ac.uk\/decolonising\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wp.lancs.ac.uk\/decolonising\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1533"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wp.lancs.ac.uk\/decolonising\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1240"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/wp.lancs.ac.uk\/decolonising\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1240\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1242,"href":"https:\/\/wp.lancs.ac.uk\/decolonising\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1240\/revisions\/1242"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/wp.lancs.ac.uk\/decolonising\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1240"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wp.lancs.ac.uk\/decolonising\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1240"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wp.lancs.ac.uk\/decolonising\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1240"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
