Politeness and Impoliteness Theories in the context of Internet Relay Chat

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

The intention of this article is to briefly introduce computer-mediated communication as a modern means of conversation and its specific conditions. These are mainly anonymity, exclusively text-based interaction, the absence of visual and audio cues and ‘decorporization’ of the participants. Further, the article reviews literature, studies and theories relevant to politeness and impoliteness in Conversation Analysis, mainly Politeness theory and relational work by Richard J. Watts and Miriam Locher. Watts comes with a new term of relational work which he defines as the work individuals invest in negotiating relationships with others. Then, he introduces the term politic behaviour which he relates to the linguistic and non-linguistic behaviour that participants construct as being appropriate to the ongoing social interaction. Further, the phenomenon of (im)politeness is discussed in more detail and placed in the context of Internet Relay Chat. The question remains whether what counts as (im)polite in face-to-face conversation is also effective in Internet chatting and how politeness and impoliteness gain new dimensions in this medium. The author also briefly presents her own findings of opening strategies supported by her research and a corpus, however, she is aware of the complexity of this issue.
