“…In another study, 500 tweet events addressed Spanish and English Prime Ministers. They found that English respondents used sarcasm and implicated impoliteness to attack the negative face of the Prime Minister, while Spanish respondents used insults and rectification to attack the positive face of the Prime Minister (Saz-Rubio, 2023). Ott (2017: 60) takes the discussion further and argues that 'Twitter ultimately trains us to devalue others, thereby cultivating mean and malicious discourse.'…”

Twitter (X) is a popular social media platform that allows users to express their opinions and interact on various topics, including politics. However, Twitter can provide a space for impolite and aggressive language use, especially when the issues are controversial or polarizing. This study analyzes the replies to two controversial and similar tweets, namely Donald Trump’s tweet to Greta Thunberg and Greta Thunberg’s tweet to Donald Trump. Ninety-seven tweets that impolitely took issue with the original tweets were collected and coded for their moral order themes and pragmatic functions. Culpeper’s (2011) impoliteness framework was consulted as a threshold to include or exclude reply tweets in the data analysis. The results show that the replies invoked moral order expectations in three overarching categories in the responses to both parties: age-appropriate behavior, respect and manners, and concern for the common good. As far as the pragmatic functions were concerned, criticism of personal characteristics, criticism of supporters, criticism of relatives (to Trump only), praise of the opposing party, directing, mockery, and ideology denial (to Thunberg only) were performed. The study discusses how users took offense through language in a highly polarized political context.

“…The purpose of this study was to look at the incivility in the comments section of E-News social media by using Culpeper's theory. This theory was also used in Saz's research (Saz-rubio, 2023) to analyze impoliteness. Hermawan analyzed the forms of impoliteness in Javanese and Batak languages (Hermawan, 2022), Hadi politeness, and impoliteness in movies (Hadi et al, 2022).…”

Recently, researchers have witnessed an alarming phenomenon related to the violation of language politeness among students. This study aims to describe the map of students' language impoliteness in Indonesia. The research data is in the form of students' speech. The focus of this research is unmannerly speech which is studied by phenomenological study by using Culpeper's impoliteness strategy. The phenomenological steps taken are observation of the phenomenon of impoliteness, formulating problems, collecting data, analyzing data, and preparing reports. The research findings show that students use three politeness violation strategies, namely direct politeness violation, positive politeness violation, and negative politeness violation. The phenomenon found is the strategy of impoliteness by using four forms, namely delivering impolite speech directly, speech uttered based on consideration of the interlocutor, considering the location, and the situation of the conversation between the speaker and the interlocutor. This research can contribute to education, especially for teachers to always educate and guide students to speak politely. With a better understanding of the phenomenon of violations of students' language politeness, it is hoped that appropriate preventive and intervention measures can be taken to minimize the forms of language impoliteness that can be carried out by a teacher or parent.

“…Regarding the greeting culture, each region has manners and rules for communicating, including the way to address someone (see Dunn, 2011; Espinola-Klein, 2017; Fukada & Asato, 2004;Mondada, 2018;Moradi, 2017;Pinto, 2008;Saz-Rubio, 2023;Susylowati, 2020), moreover in Indonesia as a multilingual country that has various cultures, ethnicities, religions and languages (Badan Pusat Statistik, 2010). One of them is the Pancana language used by the Pancana people located in Central Buton (BPS Kabupaten Buton, 2022).…”

Addressing in the Pancana language can occur either directly or indirectly.
