Digital communication has been discussed as the locus of impoliteness and conflict par excellence. The aim of this paper is to examine impoliteness in a context of digital communication, that of food blogs, where impoliteness seems to be rather rare. The dataset consists of 2660 comments from 11 Greek food blogs. The data are analysed with the aid of strategies proposed in impoliteness research. The study aims to examine the frequency of offensive behaviour and to identify the issues that may trigger it. Furthermore, it purports to delve into the types and strategies of impoliteness used, and into interactants’ responses to offence. Data analysis showed that impolite behaviour is rare in this specific context and that it is triggered by issues related to features of good recipes and healthy eating practices, among others. It was also found that offence is usually mitigated through politeness strategies. Finally, several cases of offence were found to be disregarded by interactants, while others were resolved amicably. A tendency emerges in Greek food blogs towards the avoidance of impoliteness and the cultivation of relationships of closeness and solidarity.

The discrepancy of the study of linguistic politeness and impoliteness phenonema has been pronounced in the pragmatic study. However, up to this day the study of linguistic impoliteness, particularly based on culture-specific backgrounds has not been done. This research discusses the pragmatic manifestations of linguistic impoliteness. Through this research, a detailed description of how the manifestations and intentions of the linguistic impoliteness markers would be obtained. The data was gathered by using listening and speaking methods in linguistics. The data gathered through the basic and advanced listening and speaking methods was analyzed by using the equivalence method, particularly the extra-lingual equivalence. The research results showed that the pragmatic impoliteness was classified into five categories, namely (1) face-aggravating, (2) face-loss, (3) face-playing, (4) face-threatening, (5) deliberate ignorance. Each category of the linguistic impoliteness was described in details in its impoliteness subcategories, each was determined by its pragmatic meanings and intentions.    

This study explores the linguistic indexes of power dynamics through the lens of linguistic politeness and impoliteness in Arab media discourse. This objective was achieved through examining Abu Shawkat's utterances systematically utilizing well-established politeness theories, impoliteness paradigms, plus cooperation principles. The examination delves into Abu Shawkat’s patriarchal authority and its impact on their discursiveness from the viewpoint of complex societal interplays involving power relations, social distance assessments and imposition. Characters skillfully employ varied strategies of both politeness and impoliteness techniques alongside slight offensiveness methods for effectively navigating these subtly shifting landscapes to ultimately achieve various social objectives. The study emphasizes the need for comprehending politeness theories when navigating complex dramatic dialogues. Face-threatening acts and politeness strategies determine the relative power dynamics in the conversation between dramatic characters. In addition to that, this analysis shows how impoliteness can create complex authority hierarchies whilst simultaneously claiming autonomy within a narrative structure. This study in conclusion amplifies our understanding of the linguistic interplay weaved within dramatic discourse, primarily if it is tied deeply with Arab cultural nuances.

This paper applies the notions of impoliteness and shameless normalisation to potentially impolite behaviours produced by Donald Trump and Silvio Berlusconi in official press conferences. Press conferences, as an activity type, involve relatively clear expectations and norms, so that impolite behaviours theoretically constitute particularly salient violations. We present two case studies involving racist and misogynist insults on the part of Berlusconi and Trump, respectively, analysed in their co-textual, interactional, socio-political as well as historical contexts. We describe the kinds of impoliteness that each politician employs, without any apology, and argue that they involve violations of the traditional moral order that are part of a far-right populist agenda of shameless normalisation. In each case, we examine comments posted in response to YouTube videos of each incident and provide evidence of polarised responses, but with substantial proportions expressing positive evaluations. We observe that impoliteness affords the possibility of presenting authentic and hyper-masculine identities and finish by reflecting on the implications of our findings for the local and global political and cultural landscape.

Introduction: Linguistic politeness/impoliteness is one of the topics in the theory of pragmatics, through which the hidden layers of language can be revealed. Politeness and impoliteness approaches can be divided into classical and postmodern. In the classical approach, the concept of politeness is mostly fixed and is defined in terms of social behavior as politely. Austin's theory of speech acts and Grice's Conversational Principles are the basis of classical approaches. But in the postmodern approach, the concept of politeness is dynamic and changeable, and is explained by factors such as context and social norms. Since this theory is accounted as one of the new methods of literary text analysis that has not yet been seriously considered in the study of the language of Persian folk tales, this paper is committed to examining its function in the first part of Abu Muslim Nameh. Purpose: The main purpose of this paper is to explain in which positions in the text and for what reasons are the strategies of impoliteness used and what kinds of triggers are embedded in each case to indicate the appointed strategy. Methodology: This research has been done by descriptive-analytical method and presents the types of verbal impoliteness in the first part of Abu-Muslim Nameh (i.e. Junaid Nameh) based on Culpeper's proposed strategies which combines his earlier and later patterns and is overshadowed by the Spencer-Oatey's theory of \"rapport management\". Results: Regarding the strategies used, the results show that out of a total of five Culpeper 'strategies, three strategies of positive impoliteness, negative impoliteness and off-record impoliteness can be seen in the text. Direct positive impoliteness is the most widely used while off-record impoliteness is the least commonly used, which leads to linguistic prominence by creating the different types of irony in the text. Insulting is one of the most prominent forms of the positive impoliteness in Abu-Muslim Nameh. Insults are in categories as moral, religious, national and sexual. Negative impoliteness is usually characterized by signs of intimidation, ridicule, and threat. The threat, in addition to being the result of glorifying and heroics features in epic texts, becomes a factor in hindering and damaging the audience's private face. Off-record impoliteness is less widely used than the other two strategies, and it has mostly appeared ironically. In addition, in the theory of politeness in the sense of power, attention is paid to the interaction of verbal relations. Positions of weakness and strength shape people's verbal behaviors. However, in Abu-Muslim Nameh, the weakness and strength has little effect on verbal actions as inferiors and superiors use verbal behaviors alike.

In the Japanese language, Keigo refers to the politeness in language that one must adhere to during interactions with native speakers. Japanese language students are obliged to pay attention to this principle and behave politely in spoken communication. In the Javanese language, the manner in which speech is delivered, undha usuk, comprises a variety of registers applied to different social contexts, such as krama (High or formal Javanese) and ngoko (Low or vernacular Javanese). Still, other politeness principles are to be taken into account. This study, driven by such a concern, was devoted to examining politeness violations in communications between 108 university students, most of whom were native Javanese speakers. The politeness principle was employed to unravel the issue. Data were collected by recording conversations between participants and native Japanese speakers. A follow-up interview with each subject was also conducted. The results revealed that most students failed to build intercultural communication in Japanese conversation, due to their lack of socio-pragmatic knowledge. Based on the interview results, in daily communication, the students rarely used the Javanese speech act level of krama, instead using basa ngoko or Indonesian. These findings emphasize the socio-pragmatic concept, and more precisely the politeness principles other than the Keigo style, to students. This should minimize the violation of politeness maxims in the Japanese language.

Algunas arengas de la Ilíada, caracterizadas por la acumulación de insultos, amenazas y maldiciones, admiten un análisis como macro actos de habla de reprimenda. Estos macro actos de habla presentan una estructura y unas estrategias lingüísticas semejantes. La descortesía de estas reprimendas está normalizada y, por tanto, resulta aceptable tanto para el hablante como para el interlocutor. Se trata de una descortesía institucional que se sirve de la humillación del interlocutor como recurso para reafirmar en él los valores del ejército al que pertenece.

Impoliteness is an act that is rejected and refused in the conventions of any society. However, it is utilized occasionally for various hidden motives and not only as an act of threatening others\" faces. This act is ascertained to be systematic according to Culpeper\"s ,,Anatomy of impoliteness which is the adopted model in the present study. This model is applied to demonstrate the strategies that John Green adopts to demonstrate Van Houlten\"s character that acts impolitely in Green's novel \"The Fault in our Stars. The present study intends to reveal the types of impolite strategies that the writer utilizes to indicate this act of impoliteness and it also intends to reveal that impoliteness is a means to express grief, anger, and despair of life when losing our beloved.

Mobile gaming communication is a rapidly growing field of research that explores the ways in which people interact while playing mobile games. This study examines Traveler's strategies to convey politeness and impoliteness in mobile game interaction between Traveler and Paimon in Genshin Impact. A descriptive qualitative method was used to identify the politeness strategies in the dialogues. Indonesian utterances were obtained from the voice-over of the Traveler copied from HoyoLab. The dataset comprised 60 conversations between the Traveler and Paimon, which were then collected, classified, and analyzed based on Leech's (2014), politeness principle with conversation maxims. The results revealed that both characters employed politeness and impoliteness strategies. The politeness strategies were utilized to assign positive values to the speakers and to soften the expression of negative values to take away value from the speakers. In contrast, the impoliteness strategies involved camaraderie, language, and humor in maintaining the characters' relationship.
