“…In my analysis I apply an approach to (im)politeness that is informed by a pragmatics based on relevance theory, and a sociolinguistics based on indexicality theory. The grounds for this approach have been discussed in previous works (Christie 2007(Christie , 2013(Christie , 2014(Christie , 2015. Here my goal is to illustrate what this specific approach can bring to light about the use of language in the Soto hearing.…”

The aim of this special issue of the Journal of Politeness Research is to show what happens when different analytical frameworks are be applied to a single piece of data: a short YouTube clip of a hearing in a USA courtroom. My specific aim in this paper is to show what an indexical analysis of (im)politeness phenomena, that is informed by a relevance-theoretic approach to communication, can bring to light about a short exchange between the judge and the defendant, that would not be evident to most viewers of this clip, and which also would not come to light through the application of the other methodologies demonstrated in this issue. Overall, I show that an analytical framework that takes a pragmatically informed indexical approach to (im)politeness phenomena, would predict and can explain variation between interpretations of an utterance as well as similarities in interpretation. It can therefore be used to address a problem that has always been present in (im)politeness analyses: how to identify and account for the social meanings generated by the use of a linguistic form in context.

“…Kielelliset toimintayhteisöt eivät kuitenkaan elä sosiaalisessa tyhjiössä (Haugh 2011, 255). Yhä useammat tutkijat ovatkin sitä mieltä, että kohteliaisuustutkimuksessa tulisi tarkastella myös laajempia sosiaalisia voimia (Mills 2011a, 76-77;Sifianou & Garcés-Conejos Blitvich 2017, 589;Christie 2015).…”

How to study politeness? Perceptions of Finnish and French politeness Politeness is a key means by which we maintain interpersonal relationships. This book is the first comprehensive study of politeness in Finnish. Based on linguistic and pragmatic research, the book spans three parts. The first part is theoretical and historical, summarising three waves of politeness research, describing politeness as a cultural and historical phenomenon. The second part is empirical, providing an example of the study of im/politeness from outsiders’ perspectives—that, is French people living in Finland and Finns living or having lived in France. The focus group discussions ranged from definitions of politeness and differences of behaviour, to learning and teaching as well as to changes to politeness norms within society. The third part summarises the conclusions and offers an epilogue. This reader-friendly book includes exercises and recommended readings, and is welcomed by researchers and students working on politeness and, more broadly, relational work.

“…Analyzing language politeness means studying the structure of language externally. Research on language politeness has been done a lot, including Xiang et al (2020), Li et al (2020, Baider (2020), Alahmad et al (2020), Wong & Esler (2020), Astia (2020), Darong et al, (2020), Widagdo & Yustanto (2020), Humaizi et al (2020), Nurjanah et al (2017), Van Der Bom & Grainger (2015), Kariithi (2016), Hall et al (2017), Hambali & Novia (2017), Aminah (2017), Dietrich & Haußecker (2017), Jahdiah (2018), Christie (2015), Pramujiono & Nurjati (2017), Eshghinejad & Moini (2016), Ryabova (2015), Solihin et al (2019), Mahmud (2019), Palupi & Endahwati (2019), Foolen (2019. These researches mostly still focus on the description of the fulfilment and violation of the principle of modesty.…”

This research was based on the reality of the use of Indonesian language on social media that was vulgar, destructive, full of blasphemy, scorn, sarcasm, and tended to be provocative. This condition has destructive power because it spreads very quickly and is capable of arousing very strong emotions. This article aimed at presenting the results of research on the analysis model of impolite Indonesian language use. This model was developed from tracing status on social media which included language impoliteness in 2019. The novelty of this analysis model was that it involved a factor of power that allowed the appearance of such impolite speech. Therefore, this model is composed of several stages. First, presenting text in the form of spoken, written, and visual texts. Second, transcribing texts. Third, interpreting language impoliteness. At the interpreting stage, the impoliteness of the speeches was carried out by: (1) analyzing the contexts, (2) analyzing the power, (3) analyzing the dictions and language styles that contained impoliteness, (4) analyzing ethical speech acts, and (5) manipulating language politeness. From these language manipulation efforts, they were made to habituate language discipline to create a polite language society.

Epilogue. Politeness research: Sociolinguistics as applied pragmatics

Abstract: 1 I use small capitals here to indicate that I am referring to the concept rather than the word politeness. That conceptualization might be realized as part of a theory or be a lay conceptualization.
