Abstract
This study examines how Filipino language news interviews in television broadcasting fit into Brown and Levinson’s (1987) politeness concepts and Culpeper’s (1996) impoliteness theory. It focuses specifically on what (im)politeness strategies are employed within the confines of two key elements in broadcast interviews, namely, turn-taking and question design. Underpinned by (im) politeness theories and with conversational analysis (CA) in media discourse as a method, this qualitative inquiry is an attempt to fill in the gap from a lack of empirical data in CA involving broadcast texts in Southeast Asian and Filipino contexts. Findings show a tendency for broadcast interviewers to use polite markers, honorifics
