Complimenting as a rapport-building positive politeness strategy in online communities

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

Over the past 25 years, the Internet has become a global communication network connecting millions of users, who form myriad online communities. The paper intends to explain how members of asynchronous online communities, discussion boards, cooperate by means of complimenting, which is a powerful positive politeness strategy used to express mutuality and claim common ground. Compliments have a primarily social function creating and/or enhancing solidarity and rapport; they are even referred to as “social lubricants”. The communities under examination discuss women’s” topics, such as dieting, infertility, pregnancy and mothering. The quantitative and qualitative analysis of a self -compiled corpus consisting of several discussion threads on these topics has shown that complimenting is one of the most frequent strategies applied by interlocutors. It has also revealed distinct semantic and syntactic patterns, as compliments are highly formulaic and rather poor in their linguistic realizations.
