DOWNLOAD EBOOKThis study concerns the nature of impoliteness in face-to-face spoken interaction. For more than three decades many pragmatic and sociolinguistic studies of interaction have considered politeness to be one central explanatory concept governing and underpinning face-to-face interaction. Politeness' "evil twin" impoliteness has been largely neglected until only very recently. This book, the first of its kind on the subject, considers the role that impoliteness has to play by drawing extracts from a range of discourse types (car parking disputes, army and police training, police-public interactions and kitchen discourse). The study considers the triggering of impoliteness; explores the dynamic progression of impolite exchanges, and examines the way in which such exchanges come to some form of resolution. 'Face' and the linguistic sophistication and manipulation of discoursally expected norms to cause, or deflect impoliteness is also explored, as is the dynamic and sometimes hotly contested nature of an individual's socio-discoursal role.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe volume addresses the enormous imbalance that exists between academic interest in politeness phenomena when compared to impoliteness phenomena. Researchers working with Brown and Levinson's ([1978] 1987) seminal work on politeness rarely focused explicitly on impoliteness. As a result, only one aspect of facework/relational work has been studied in detail. Next to this research desideratum, politeness research is on the move again, with alternative conceptions of politeness to those of Brown and Levinson being further developed. In this volume researchers present, discuss and explore the concept of linguistic impoliteness, the crucial differences and interconnectedness between lay understandings of impoliteness and the academic concept within a theory of facework/relational work, as well as the exercise of power that is involved when impoliteness occurs. The authors offer solid discussions of the theoretical issues involved and draw on data from political interaction, interaction with legally constituted authorities, workplace interaction in the factory and the office, code-switching and Internet practices. The collection offers inspiration for research on impoliteness in many different research fields, such as (critical) discourse analysis, conversation analysis, pragmatics and stylistics, as well as linguistic approaches to studies in conflict and conflict resolution.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKDiploma Thesis from the year 2021 in the subject Communications - Media and Politics, Politic Communications, grade: 9.33, , language: English, abstract: The study focuses on communicative behaviour in Political Discourse, having in view the presence of elements of politeness and impoliteness. Political settings consist of rich and interesting elements of politeness and impoliteness. In order to achieve certain goals, politicians use politeness strategies. Nevertheless, impoliteness is salient when it occurs. In analyzing the data, some elements that trigger impoliteness will be followed. Studies on politeness and impoliteness have acquired great popularity over the past few decades. However, they mostly emphasize the informal aspects of language. Politeness is conceptualized as strategic conflict avoidance. On the contrary, impoliteness is regarded as a violation of politic behaviour. Politeness and impoliteness are basic to any form of communication. The concepts of politeness and impoliteness play an important role in all kinds of discourses. One is Political Discourse.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKWhen is language considered 'impolite'? Is impolite language only used for anti-social purposes? Can impolite language be creative? What is the difference between 'impoliteness' and 'rudeness'? Grounded in naturally-occurring language data and drawing on findings from linguistic pragmatics and social psychology, Jonathan Culpeper provides a fascinating account of how impolite behaviour works. He examines not only its forms and functions but also people's understandings of it in both public and private contexts. He reveals, for example, the emotional consequences of impoliteness, how it shapes and is shaped by contexts, and how it is sometimes institutionalised. This book offers penetrating insights into a hitherto neglected and poorly understood phenomenon. It will be welcomed by students and researchers in linguistics and social psychology in particular.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThis book deals with participation frameworks in modern social and public media. It brings together several cutting-edge research studies that offer exciting new insights into the nature and formats of interpersonal communication in diverse technology-mediated contexts. Some papers introduce new theoretical extensions to participation formats, while others present case studies in various discourse domains spanning public and private genres. Adopting the perspective of the pragmatics of interaction, these contributions discuss data ranging from public, mass-mediated and quasi-authentic texts, fully staged and scripted textual productions, to authentic, non-scripted private messages and comments, both of a permanent and ephemeral nature. The analyses include news interviews, online sports reporting, sitcoms, comedy shows, stand-up comedies, drama series, institutional and personal blogs, tweets, follow-up YouTube video commentaries, and Facebook status updates. All the authors emphasize the role of context and pay attention to how meaning is constructed by participants in interactions in increasingly complex participation frameworks existing in traditional as well as novel technologically mediated interactions.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThis book explores what new light philosophical approaches shed on a deeper understanding of (im)politeness. There have been numerous studies on linguistic (im)politeness, however, little attention has been paid to its philosophical underpinnings. This book opens new avenues for both (im)politeness and philosophy. It contributes to a fruitful dialogue among philosophy, pragmatics, and sociology. This volume appeals to students and researchers in these fields.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKAmong enculturated internet users, social niceties that in past generations seemed commonplace and nonnegotiable for maintaining close-knit communities and servicing solid interpersonal relationships seem to be all but dissolving as virtues within CMC (Computer Mediated Communication) interaction. It is now disrespectful speech acts of impoliteness that often seem to govern the social interactions of many virtual communities. Two forms of impolite speech in particular: flaming, conflictive expressions of antagonistic behavior; and trolling, the internet equivalent of skulking about an online community looking for trouble or baiting users into an argument are the most common forms of effrontery-centric-speech associated with CMC. As this phenomenon of online aggressiveness has become more pervasive and widespread, this thesis aims to take a deeper look at the roles and pragmatic functions that antagonistic behavior plays in negotiating the social and cultural norms of an online community. In order to accomplish this, I apply a reconstituted form of politeness theory, impoliteness theory, to two sets of data that represent distinctly different discourse types of online interaction: online public discussions from MSN.com and recorded voice chat in preand post-game lobbies found within the competitive online multiplayer portion of the videogame Halo 3. Within the analysis that follows, this thesis showcases various idiosyncratic speech patterns typical of CMC discourses and discusses how these net-centric features of modern digital communication influence the interpretation of (im)polite speech acts. Furthermore, this thesis investigates to what degree the collectively established conventions of these CMC discourse patterns act as identity markers that help enculturated net users to further establish identity and communicative solidarity within their discourse communities. This thesis concludes that speech acts of (im)politeness in online discourses do play a role in negotiating cultural and community norms. I further conclude that instances of flaming or trolling are not simply unmotivated acts of aggression, but are methods of expressing solidarity with others of particular ideological stances, means of establishing a makeshift pecking order between interactants, indicators of discourse community membership based on levels of enculturated discourse competence, or are similarly used for fulfilling the personal face wants for one's own self-gratification at the expense of others.
