“…Among them are the results of research by Culpeper et al (2017), which put the analysis of language impoliteness into three concepts, namely: context, power, and formulation of impoliteness. This research is also relevant to Kienpointner & Stopfner (2017), who concluded that impoliteness is not only related to social relations but is closely related to ideology.…”

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.

“…Age has thus far been investigated with regard to the cognitive capability of children to formulate requests at a certain age (Carrell, 1981), yet a study on age as a factor determining the choice of one request strategy over another in different varieties of English is still pending. Nevertheless, various studies on politeness in general have shown that ‘[g]eneration‐specific views of (im)politeness hold that different generations talk and behave differently […]’ (Kienpointner & Stopfner, 2017, p. 73). Therefore, the present paper includes speaker age as a factor possibly relevant for the choice of request strategy in two South Asian English varieties, namely IndE and SLE.…”

Despite notable exceptions, research on requests in world Englishes has so far largely involved role plays, questionnaires and discourse completion tasks. Moreover, research on requests in South Asian varieties of English is rather scarce. Therefore, the present study employs a multifactorial approach towards requests in Indian and Sri Lankan English as compared to their historical input variety British English by investigating the spoken components of the International Corpus of English, hence involving authentic, non‐intuition‐based empirical data. Based on a conditional inference tree and a random forest extended via the integration of interaction predictors, the present paper concludes that quantitative differences in the realisation patterns of requests in British, Indian and Sri Lankan English can be observed.

“…Such context-specific situations are also affected by "the view of members of particular communities of practice and/or speech communities" (Kienpointner and Stopfner, 2017, p.69). Kienpointner and Stopfner (2017) add that impoliteness is construed by understanding the nature of subgroups and their context of culture. They analyzed ideological aspects of impoliteness in their case study about a TV debate before the election of the Austrian Parliament in 2006.…”

This article is intended to analyze verbal impoliteness in the first and only Egyptian televised presidential debate. The objective of this article is to examine how impoliteness strategies are indirectly utilized by the presidential candidates Mousa and Aboul fotouh. The analysis pinpoints the intended implications resulting from this linguistic phenomenon. The study is capitalized on Culpeper's Theory of Impoliteness (1996, 2005) as its framework to deduce how impoliteness can intentionally be used to save/threaten the face of competing politicians.
