Book Synopsis Impoliteness in Interaction by : Derek Bousfield
Download or read book Impoliteness in Interaction written by Derek Bousfield and published by John Benjamins Publishing. This book was released on 2008-01-09 with total page 297 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This 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.
Book Synopsis Impoliteness in Language by : Derek Bousfield
Download or read book Impoliteness in Language written by Derek Bousfield and published by Walter de Gruyter. This book was released on 2008-09-25 with total page 357 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The 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.
Book Synopsis Politeness and Impoliteness in the Political Discourse by : Necsoiu Mariana
Download or read book Politeness and Impoliteness in the Political Discourse written by Necsoiu Mariana and published by GRIN Verlag. This book was released on 2022-01-05 with total page 38 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Diploma 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.
Book Synopsis Participation in Public and Social Media Interactions by : Marta Dynel
Download or read book Participation in Public and Social Media Interactions written by Marta Dynel and published by John Benjamins Publishing Company. This book was released on 2015-02-15 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This 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 or read book Impoliteness written by Jonathan Culpeper and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2011-01-06 with total page 307 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When 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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This 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.

Book Synopsis Impoliteness in Computer Mediated Communication by :
Download or read book Impoliteness in Computer Mediated Communication written by and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 170 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Among 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.
Book Synopsis Discourse In and Through the Media by : Marina Bondi
Download or read book Discourse In and Through the Media written by Marina Bondi and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2016-01-14 with total page 350 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a result of the 2013 CLAVIER Conference held in Modena in November 2013, and includes a selection of the papers presented on that occasion. As the title suggests, this volume encourages cross-generic and cross-disciplinary investigations, in order to advocate integrated approaches to the study of media discourse regarding both theoretical background and practical applications. Bringing together a wide range of case studies, the book fosters debate on a variety of aspects related to the representation of specialised discourse in and through the media, including, for example, voice and point of view, argumentative practices, knowledge construction, multimodality, the re-contextualization and re-conceptualization of knowledge, opinion formation and peer-to-peer communication, and popularization in and through traditional, digital and social media. Taken together, the contributions to this volume provide extensive exemplification of the type of research currently being conducted on these issues. The variety of the questions posed and the wide array of methods used here therefore represent a substantial contribution to sharpening existing knowledge and furthering the ongoing debate among scholars in the field.

Book Synopsis Pragmatics of Fiction by : Miriam A. Locher
Download or read book Pragmatics of Fiction written by Miriam A. Locher and published by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG. This book was released on 2017-04-10 with total page 628 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pragmatics of Fiction provides systematic orientation in the emerging field of studying pragmatics with/in fictional data. It provides an authoritative and accessible overview of this versatile new field in its methodological and theoretical richness. Giving center stage to fictional language allows scholars to review key concepts in sociolinguistics such as genre, style, voice, stance, dialogue, participation structure or features of orality and literariness. The contributors explore language as one of the creative tools to craft story worlds and characters by drawing on concepts such as regional, social and ethnic language variation, as well as multilingualism. Themes such as emotion, taboo language or impoliteness in fiction receive attention just as the challenges of translation and dubbing, the creation of past and future languages, the impact of fictional language on language change or the fuzzy boundaries of narratives. Each contribution, written by a leading specialist, gives a succinct, representative and up-to-date overview of research questions, theories, methods and recent developments in the field.

Book Synopsis Developments in Linguistic Humour Theory by : Marta Dynel
Download or read book Developments in Linguistic Humour Theory written by Marta Dynel and published by John Benjamins Publishing. This book was released on 2013-10-15 with total page 441 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume presents recent developments in the linguistics of humour. It depicts new theoretical proposals for capturing different humorous forms and phenomena central to humour research, thereby extending its scope. The 15 contributions critically survey and develop the existing interpretative models, or they postulate novel theoretical approaches to humour in order to better elucidate its workings. The collection of articles offers cutting-edge interdisciplinary explorations, encompassing various realms of linguistics (semantics, pragmatics, stylistics, cognitive linguistics, and language philosophy), as well as drawing on findings from other fields, primarily: sociology, psychology and anthropology. Thanks to careful overviews of the relevant background literature, the papers will be of use to not only researchers and academics but also students. Albeit focused on theoretical developments, rather than case studies, the volume is illustrated with interesting research data, such as the discourse of television programmes and series, films and stand-up comedy, as well as jokes.
