Abstract Many internet users actively participate and share their views using social networks. Their behavior is sometimes unpredictable; it could be polite or impolite. This study aims to investigate impoliteness in the comment section of the Al-Jazeera Arabic news website to uncover the types of impolite acts which commenters engage in online, and expose conventionalized and non-conventionalized impoliteness triggers. It also seeks to explore the influence of computer-mediated contextual factors, such as anonymity and synchronicity on impoliteness. The study adopts Neurauter-Kessels’ framework (2011) to identify the types of face attacks and Culpeper’s bottom-up model (2011, 2016) of impoliteness triggers to classify impolite acts. The analysis shows that commenters engage in FTAs that are targeting the writers. The most frequent attack is the lack of balance, wholeness, fairness, and objectivity and the least frequent is being out of touch or having a lack of interaction with the audience. Commenters also employ both conventionalized and non-conventionalized impoliteness formulas in their face-attacks. Findings indicate that there are some distinctive features of Arabic impoliteness discourse, such as the use of colloquialisms, proverbs and idioms, religious expressions and interjections. The analysis also reveals that anonymity and asynchronicity are significant in accounting for the manifestation of impoliteness.
许多互联网用户通过社交网络积极参与并分享他们的观点。他们的行为有时是不可预测的;它可以是礼貌的,也可以是不礼貌的。本研究旨在调查Al-Jazeera阿拉伯语新闻网站评论区的不礼貌行为,揭示评论者在网上进行的不礼貌行为的类型,并揭示传统和非传统不礼貌行为的诱因。它还试图探索计算机介导的语境因素,如匿名性和同步性对不礼貌的影响。本研究采用Neurauter-Kessels的框架(2011)识别面部攻击的类型,采用Culpeper的自下而上的不礼貌触发模型(2011、2016)对不礼貌行为进行分类。分析结果显示,评论者参与了针对作者的自由贸易协定(fta)。最常见的攻击是缺乏平衡性、整体性、公平性和客观性,最不常见的攻击是与观众脱节或缺乏互动。评论者在攻击脸的时候也会使用传统和非传统的不礼貌公式。研究结果表明,阿拉伯语不礼貌话语有一些明显的特点,如俗语、谚语和成语、宗教用语和感叹词的使用。分析还表明,匿名性和异步性在解释不礼貌的表现方面具有重要意义。

Do indirect requests communicate politeness? An experimental study of conventionalized indirect requests in French email communication 间接的请求能传达礼貌吗?法语电子邮件交际中约定式间接请求的实验研究

Abstract This article addresses the relationship between linguistic politeness and addressee status in the performance of written requests in French. According to a first view, conventionalized Can you followed by a verbal phrase (in short, Can you VP?) “indirect requests” (IRs) are preferred because they enable speakers to convey politeness effects absent in imperatives. According to an alternative view, Can you VP? is the standard polite request form in written communication because it avoids impoliteness implications. To test these two competing hypotheses, I carried out a production task experiment with 122 native speakers of Belgian French writing email requests. In this experiment, addressee status was manipulated. An important finding is that higher addressee status does not increase the frequency of Can you VP? requests. Instead of using Can you VP? more often when they address higher status people, the participants used specific politeness markers such as formal greetings and the V-form of address. These results disconfirm the hypothesis that Can you VP? is used to convey extra politeness effects and suggests instead that people use such IRs to avoid the risk of being considered impolite.
摘要本文探讨了法语书面请求中语言礼貌与收件人地位的关系。根据第一种观点,常规的Can you后接一个动词短语(简而言之,Can you VP?)“间接请求”(ir)更受欢迎,因为它们使说话者能够传达祈使句所没有的礼貌效果。根据另一种观点,你能VP吗?是书面交流中标准的礼貌请求形式,因为它避免了不礼貌的暗示。为了验证这两种相互矛盾的假设,我对122名母语为比利时法语的人进行了一项生产任务实验,让他们写电子邮件请求。在这个实验中,收件人的地位是被操纵的。一个重要的发现是,较高的收信人地位并不会增加Can you VP?请求。而不是用Can you VP?更常见的是,当他们与地位较高的人交谈时,参与者会使用特定的礼貌标志,比如正式的问候和v型称呼。这些结果否定了你能VP吗?被用来传达额外的礼貌效果,并建议人们使用这样的ir来避免被认为不礼貌的风险。

Abstract Although linguistic politeness has been studied and theorized about extensively, the role of prosody in the perception of (im)polite attitudes has been somewhat neglected. In the present study, we used experimental methods to investigate the interaction of linguistic form, imposition, and prosody in the perception of (im)polite requests. A written task established a baseline for the level of politeness associated with certain linguistic structures. Then stimuli were recorded in polite and rude prosodic conditions and in a perceptual experiment they were judged for politeness. Results revealed that, although both linguistic structure and prosody had a significant effect on politeness ratings, the effect of prosody was much more robust. In fact, rude prosody led in some cases to the neutralization of (extra)linguistic distinctions. The important contribution of prosody to (im)politeness inferences was also revealed by a comparison of the written and auditory tasks. These findings have important implications for models of (im)politeness and more generally for theories of affective speech. Implications for the generation of Particularized Conversational Implicatures (PCIs) of (im)politeness are also discussed.
摘要尽管人们对语言礼貌进行了广泛的研究和理论化,但韵律在礼貌态度感知中的作用却被忽视了。在本研究中,我们使用实验方法来研究语言形式、强加和韵律在礼貌请求感知中的相互作用。书面任务为与某些语言结构相关的礼貌水平建立了基线。然后在礼貌和粗鲁的韵律条件下记录刺激,并在感知实验中判断它们是否礼貌。结果表明,尽管语言结构和韵律对礼貌评分都有显著影响,但韵律的影响要大得多。事实上,在某些情况下,粗鲁的韵律导致了(额外的)语言区别的中和。通过对书面任务和听觉任务的比较,也揭示了韵律对礼貌推理的重要贡献。这些发现对礼貌模型和情感言语理论都有重要的启示。还讨论了礼貌的特殊会话含义(PCI)的产生。

Teachers and supervisors negotiating face during critical account requests in post observation feedback 在观察后反馈中,教师和主管在关键账户请求期间协商面子

Abstract This article shows, through the analysis of “real life” institutional interaction, how experienced teachers and supervisors negotiate face when teachers contest or manage supervisors’ critical account requests during post observation feedback meetings. A linguistic micro-analysis of data extracts is supplemented with ethnographic data drawn from participant perspective interviews and researcher knowledge. The analysis shows how participants subtly and skillfully employ facework to manage the potential face-threat engendered by criticism and disagreement. This facework is mostly successful, but in one case the supervisor orients to face-threat and closes down the topic of discussion. This demonstrates that face is consequential to both unfolding talk and the feedback goal of dialogue and development. Feedback participants, both supervisors and teachers, also engage in moves of face support and face maintenance. The analysis shows face to be an emergent, situated relationship, co-constructed by both participants, and also shows that participants are willing to risk face-threat to achieve institutional goals (supervisors) and defend their actions (teachers). This supports the view that face-threat is rational and common and indicates that criticism, account requests, and disagreements are acceptable norms in post observation feedback.
摘要本文通过分析“现实生活”中的制度互动,展示了经验丰富的教师和主管在观察后反馈会议上,当教师质疑或管理主管的批判性账户请求时,他们是如何进行谈判的。对数据摘录的语言学微观分析辅以从参与者视角访谈和研究人员知识中提取的民族志数据。该分析展示了参与者如何巧妙地使用面部表情来应对批评和分歧带来的潜在面部威胁。这种面对面的工作大多是成功的,但在一个案例中,主管倾向于面对威胁,并结束了讨论的主题。这表明,面子对于展开对话和对话与发展的反馈目标都是重要的。反馈参与者,包括主管和教师,也参与面部支撑和面部维护的动作。分析表明,面子是一种由两个参与者共同构建的紧急的情境关系,也表明参与者愿意冒着面临威胁的风险来实现制度目标(主管)和捍卫自己的行为(教师)。这支持了面对威胁是理性和普遍的观点,并表明批评、账户请求和分歧是观察后反馈中可以接受的规范。

An Intergenerational Perspective on (Im)politeness (我)礼貌的代际视角

The present paper provides an intergenerational perspective on Greek conceptualizations of (im)politeness. Based on interviews eliciting narratives of impolite behaviour of our participants’ parents’ generation, the study illustrates the contested and changing nature of politeness in contemporary Greece. Through critically evaluating the older generation’s behaviour, the participants not only provided insights into their own politeness norms but also showed a clear understanding of the previous generation’s politeness norms. The discrepancy between what is perceived as polite by the two generations points to a distinction between empirical (is) and moral (should) norms (Haugh 2010), with the former allowing the participants to classify their parents’ impoliteness as non-intentional and the latter reflecting the emergence of new conceptualizations of politeness in Greece. While Greece has been unanimously characterized as a positive politeness culture in previous research, the present study illustrates an increasing emphasis on values and norms associated with negative politeness.
本论文提供了一个代际视角的希腊(im)礼貌的概念化。基于对参与者父母那一代的不礼貌行为的采访,该研究说明了当代希腊礼貌的争议和变化的本质。通过批判性地评价老一辈的行为,参与者不仅对自己的礼貌规范有了深入的了解,而且对上一代的礼貌规范也有了清晰的了解。两代人所认为的礼貌之间的差异指出了经验(是)和道德(应该)规范之间的区别(Haugh 2010),前者允许参与者将父母的不礼貌归类为非故意的,后者反映了希腊礼貌新概念的出现。虽然希腊在之前的研究中被一致认为是一个积极的礼貌文化,但目前的研究表明,希腊越来越重视与消极礼貌相关的价值观和规范。

Impoliteness in English and Chinese online diners’ reviews 中英文在线用餐者评价中的不礼貌

Linguistic impoliteness appears to be an important feature of online reviews. This paper examines how impoliteness is realized in English and Chinese negative reviews, and how these reviews are responded to. The data sets are composed of 32 English and 32 Chinese negative reviews with responses respectively from the websites TripAdvisor and Dazhongdianping. Building on the work of Culpeper (1996; 2011), English reviewers are found to adopt more of a mixture of approval and criticism, and “stuff-oriented” pointed complaints, while Chinese reviewers employ more indignant exclamations and “staff-oriented” pointed complaints. This suggests that the latter are more concerned about their own face needs, and thus have the potential to be perceived as more impolite and aggravating than the former. However, it is also found that Chinese respondents are potentially more polite and indirect than English respondents. Chinese respondents pay more attention to reviewers’ face wants rather than that of their own, while English respondents attach greater importance to maintaining a positive image for a restaurant, and hence attending to their own face needs. This paper reveals a sharp contrast in the use of impoliteness and its link to the concept of face in English and Chinese negative reviews and responses.
语言上的不礼貌似乎是网络评论的一个重要特征。本文考察了不礼貌在英汉差评中是如何表现出来的,以及这些差评是如何被回应的。数据集由来自TripAdvisor和大众点评的32条英文差评和32条中文差评组成。在Culpeper(1996)工作的基础上;2011年),英语审稿人更多地采用赞成和批评的混合方式,以及“以工作人员为导向”的尖锐抱怨,而中文审稿人更多地采用愤慨的感叹和“以工作人员为导向”的尖锐抱怨。这表明,后者更关心自己的面子需求,因此有可能被认为比前者更不礼貌、更令人讨厌。然而,我们也发现,中国受访者可能比英国受访者更礼貌、更间接。中国受访者更关注评论者的面子需求,而不是自己的面子需求,而英国受访者更重视维护餐厅的正面形象,因此更关注自己的面子需求。本文揭示了在英语和汉语的负面评价和回应中,不礼貌的使用及其与面子概念的联系的鲜明对比。

Impoliteness Revisited: Evidence from Qingmian Threats in Chinese Interpersonal Conflicts 重新审视不礼貌:来自中国人人际冲突中的清面威胁的证据

Yongping Ran, Linsen Zhao
There is a growing consensus that (im)politeness is associated with participants’ situated evaluations vis-à-vis the moral order (Haugh 2013a, 2015b; Kádár and Haugh 2013). This paper focuses on impoliteness as evaluative practices underpinned by the moral order of qingmian (lit., affection-based face). Drawing on data from Chinese interpersonal conflicts, the study reveals that unmet renqing (favor) expectations and unmet mianzi/lian (face) expectations are often evaluated as qingmian threats by participants, and thereby cause conflicts and disharmony. Our analysis investigates three key issues: (1) qingmian threat as the cause of interpersonal conflicts, (2) cultural factors influencing expectations associated with ‘taking offence’ in Chinese and (3) the implications of qingmian threat for (im)politeness theory at the etic level.
人们越来越一致认为,(im)礼貌与参与者对道德秩序的情境评价有关(Haugh 2013a,2015b;Kádár和Haugh 2013)。本文着重探讨了作为评价实践的不礼貌,这种评价实践是以青面的道德秩序为基础的。根据中国人人际冲突的数据,研究发现,未满足的仁情期望和未满足的面子期望往往被参与者评价为青面威胁,从而导致冲突和不和谐。我们的分析考察了三个关键问题:(1)青面威胁是人际冲突的原因。

This article presents a detailed analysis of (im)politeness in a naturally occurring multi-party conversation and in doing so challenges the theoretical premise of dyadic communication in traditional politeness research. Informed by the classical theories of Leech (1983) and Brown and Levinson (1987), traditional politeness research has largely been framed in the dyadic model of communication, without taking into full consideration the influence of other participants. Following a number of discursive theorists, we propose that (im)polite utterances are not always addressed exclusively at one hearer or one party of hearers. More often than not, the other parties present exert considerable influence on the design and interpretation of (im)polite utterances as well. Our analyses of three extracts of a multi-party conversation from a Chinese dinner table demonstrate that in a triad involving a relational coalition of two participants, the (im)politeness in some speech acts can be extended or transformed in specific contexts. In particular, a compliment directed at one member of the coalition tends to be polite at the same time to the other member; and a criticism between the coalition members may be polite to the third party under some circumstances. It is argued that the extension and transformation of (im)politeness in a multi-party context are culturally motivated and conditioned by the interpersonal relationships among the different parties. The study points to the need for further research on (im)politeness in a multi-party context.
本文对自然发生的多方对话中的(非)礼貌进行了详细的分析,从而挑战了传统礼貌研究中二元交际的理论前提。受Leech(1983)和Brown and Levinson(1987)的经典理论影响,传统的礼貌研究在很大程度上被框定在交际的二元模型中,没有充分考虑到其他参与者的影响。跟随一些话语理论家,我们提出(我)礼貌的话语并不总是专门针对一个听者或听者的一方。通常情况下,在场的其他各方也会对礼貌话语的设计和解释产生相当大的影响。我们对中国餐桌上三段多人对话的分析表明,在涉及两个参与者的关系联盟的三位一体中,某些言语行为中的(非)礼貌可以在特定的语境中扩展或转换。特别是,对联盟中的一个成员的赞美往往同时对另一个成员也很有礼貌;在某些情况下,联盟成员之间的批评可能是对第三方的礼貌。本文认为,在多方语境中,礼貌的延伸和转化是由文化驱动的,并受到各方之间人际关系的制约。该研究指出,需要进一步研究多方环境下的礼貌行为。
