“…Politeness, as an interdisciplinary subject, has drawn the attention of many scholars from different disciplines (Goffman 1967(Goffman , 1971Lakoff 1973Lakoff , 1975Lakoff , 1990Brown & Levinson 1978Fraser & Nolen 1981;Leech 1983;Watts 1989Watts , 2003Watts , 2005Locher & Watts 2005;Spencer-Oatey 2005;Arundale 2006;Eelen 2001;Mills 2003 among others) and it has been the subject of extensive inquiry. Looking at the theoretical development of politeness theory, Grainger (2011), and elsewhere in Bousfield & Grainger (2010), Van der Bom & Grainger (2015) and in Van der Bom & Mills (2015), classifies politeness research into three waves. Primarily influenced by the work of J. L. Austin (1962) and Paul H. Grice (1975), the first wave of politeness theory incorporates studies conducted by Levinson (1978, 1987), Leech (1983), and Lakoff (1973.…”

This study is aimed at examining the contextually variable meanings of the word akhs in Karaki[i] Arabic. The data of the study, which is based on authentic situations where the researcher was involved, was analyzed within the domain of politeness theory. Besides its main use as a swear word and as an abusive form of language that threatens the negative face of the addressee, akhs was found to be used as a tool to achieve relational work and politeness among associates and relatives. The usage of akhs as a positive signal of politeness was also found to be largely dependent on the dialogue parties' degree of familiarity, common background, and contextual features. Akhs could be used in some contexts as a tool to express camaraderie and as a device to evoke enthusiasm in the addressee, highlighting social solidarity and closeness and maintaining the social ties among friends and relatives. Keywords: Politeness, Familiarity, Relational work, Swear words, Social solidarity.

“…Politic behaviour is defined by Watts as "the sum of individual perceptions of what is appropriate in 4. In a recent discussion van der Bom and Grainger (2015) argue that there have been three distinct 'waves' of scholarship on politeness. In this discussion my concern is to examine the two dominant paradigms of 'politeness', one being speaker-based (Brown and Levinson 1987) and the second being hearer-based (Locher and Watts 2005). accordance with the habitus of the participants" (2003,76).…”

This paper examines the question of politeness in political interviews, looking particularly at the use of loaded questions. Comparison is made between the two principal paradigms of politeness, Locher and Watts (2005) and Brown and Levinson (1987). The paper focuses on the interviewing style of Steven Sackur (HARDtalk, BBC) who employs loaded questions in his political interviews in keeping with the analysis of Walton (1991) who argues that loaded questions can function as a 'reasonable' means to constrain the response of an interviewee and in turn further discourse. Sackur employs loaded questions selectively to convey and reinforce a presupposition to which an interviewee is not committed. In so doing, he is able to constrain the contribution of his interviewee. Loaded questions are a linguistic means of (im)politeness used strategically by Sackur to further the discourse of his interviews.
