The article investigates the im/politeness lexicon in mid-nineteenth century Romanian, based on the analysis of a literary corpus (belonging to the Forty-Eighter writers). The observations try to account for the diachronic variability of im/politeness appraisal in the Romanian Principalities. The results based on the mid-nineteenth century corpus are compared with those of our previous studies on im/politeness in the Romanian princely courts (seventeenth–early eighteenth century chronicles corpus). The article focuses on the relationships between im/politeness and emotion, intentionality, self image, tracing the marks of a politeness continuum.
