Face effects of verbal antagonism in online discussions
Original language description
Based on a corpus of internet discussions on medical topics, this study examines a salient characteristic of the genre - the prevalence of aggressive verbal antagonism. Drawing on concepts of face, rapport management and relational work, I argue that theeffects of verbally aggressive behaviour in this genre are not only destructive and anti-social, but also perform a constructive function, offering benefits both to individual speakers and to the discourse community as a whole. The analysis shows how speakers target different aspects of their opponents? face, deploying a range of face attack strategies (moves). The study then seeks to demonstrate how aggressive facework can help speakers construct and enhance their own face, as well as functioning as astimulus to constructive relational work among participants.
