摘要：What was politeness to the people in the 16th, 17th, and early 18th centuries? In this paper I will look at the gratitude expressions thank you and thanks and their function in ‘spoken’ language of the past. These expressions are seen as speechacts and politeness markers and are analysed as such in the present study. Furthermore, gratitude expressions have discourse-organising functions and, of course, great significance for pragmatics, which will be analysed in terms of social situation and text type (cf Aijmer 1996: 33).
