could anyone of you help me to find one or more systematic review articles in the field of pragmatics especially politeness, speech act and rapport management strategies?
If I understood you rightly, here is attached a book review on prgmatics, including a few chapters on politeness. Please discard if I misunderstood you. Hope you will find the review useful. Best
