Abstract The argumentative and variable nature of (im)politeness evaluations and perceptions has long been discussed by scholars working in the field. The variability found in the perception of (im)politeness norms is arguably one of the most important and fundamental components of (im)politeness research. By using a three-stage analysis and drawing on several authentic examples from Persian, the present study uses the notion of ‘heterogeneous distribution of cultural conceptualizations’ to account for instances where differences arise in the conceptualization of (im)politeness in Persian interactions. It will be argued that evaluations of (im)polite behavior vary according to people’s level of internalization of the cultural conceptualizations. Furthermore, this study will also address some of the most significant social and cultural factors that cause variability in people’s evaluations of what is impolite and why it is so.

“…Impoliteness can be analyzed at different levels of interactional structure, such as speech acts, super-strategies (Culpeper, 2005: 41-42), or their pragmatic functions (e.g., Matley, 2018;Tayebi and Parvaresh, 2014;Salimi and Mortazavi, 2023). According to Culpeper (2005: 41-42), super-strategies are the general ways of implementing impoliteness, such as bald on record impoliteness, positive impoliteness, negative impoliteness, sarcasm or mock politeness, and withholding politeness.…”

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.

“…In the strategy of bald on record impoliteness the emotive expression of disappointment does not intend to attack the hearer's face, but it exclaims his bad-feelings. Therefore, (Im)politeness is an evaluation based on sets of expectations, many of which are believed to be verified or transgressed in the course of interaction (Tayebi, 2016).…”

This study reveals how expressive speech acts representing an impoliteness strategy used in the novel. In many cases impoliteness used in speech acts is to make a disharmony relationship, but not in bald on record impoliteness strategy. This strategy explores some other ways to express the speaker's emotion, feelings, and other psychological condition in responding situations happened. Using the theory of impoliteness proposed by Culpeper this study tries to convey some evidences of implementation at one of the theory of impoliteness strategies. The data is qualitative which is some utterances representing impoliteness and explored in descriptive ones, so that in explaining this uses descriptive-qualitative method. The data is analysed using a content analysis through purposive sampling to get the purpose of study. In assessing the quality of translation uses an assessment model designed by Nababan et,als. in which there are accurate, acceptable and readable aspects. The study results this impoliteness strategy is not the intention of the speaker to attack the hearer's face. Most of the translation have a medium level of quality. This finding hopefully may contribute to develop a discussion of impoliteness strategy for other objects.
