Greek women’s stories about intimate relationships


 While sociolinguistic studies of politeness and identities
 present many disciplinary parallels, their paths have seldom intersected (Garcés-Conejos Blitvich & Sifianou,
 2017, p. 227). It is within this context that this paper uses “small
 stories” research (Bamberg, 2006;
 Georgakopoulou, 2006, 2007) and identities analysis to study
 politeness-in-interaction (Georgakopoulou,
 2013b). It particularly looks at a group of young Greek women, and
 focuses on their “small stories” about the tellers’ and others’ management of
 politeness norms in intimate relationships. A multi-method approach to data
 collection is used that involves both naturally-occurring
 narratives-in-interactions in self-recordings, and reflexive tellings in
 playback interviews. Drawing on Georgakopoulou’s (2007) triptych of “ways of telling-sites-tellers”,
 and on Bamberg’s (1997) model of
 positioning, the analysis illustrates the significance of politeness-related
 identity claims for signaling lay norms of politeness ratified by the local
 group of friends. It also shows how politeness construction is intertwined with
 the interactional fabrication of identities.
