Have you ever heard of deixis? no, neither had I until yesterday.
A quick question for Irish or Scottish readers out there:is the phrase 'will you have/be having a cup of tea?' more polite than 'do you want a cup of tea?' Is it preferred to 'Would you like a cup of tea?', and does it have the same connotation of politeness?
Studies, theories, ideas, notes from the workface and occasional bits of stupidity.
