“…Studies looking into metapragmatic politeness are far fewer and have drawn their data from various sources. In addition to using extant online interactions, including discussions on im/politeness itself (see, e.g., Haugh, 2010;Sifianou, 2019;Terkourafi et al, 2018), researchers have elicited data through questionnaires, interviews and focus groups. The current study is based on data elicited through a questionnaire (see Section 3).…”

Recent discursive approaches to im/politeness have emphasised the significance of exploring non-academic understandings of im/politeness. Pursuing this line of research, the data for this paper come from a questionnaire distributed to 100 undergraduate female university students. The informants were asked to provide some attributes of a polite person and offer examples of a person or behaviour that impressed them as being polite. The aim was to elicit the respondents’ perceptions of what constitutes politeness. The results show that the prevalent attributes of a polite person for these informants are helpfulness and unconditional respect, along with kindness. These constitute a web of closely related concepts based on goodness and genuine concern for the other, with respectfulness and kindness probably motivating helpfulness. This finding suggests that non-academic understandings of politeness are broader and not confined to language use, which has been the locus of most im/politeness research.

“…In recent years, many linguists' research perspectives on institutional discourse have gradually turned to interpersonal pragmatics, and many Western pragmatics scholars clearly pointed out that interpersonal pragmatics can reveal the interpersonal rationale for identity construction and explain its interpersonal pragmatic function [1][2][3][4]. Haugh believes that the related research on interpersonal communication overlaps with the pragmatic research on (im) politeness, face, identity and other phenomena [5].…”

In recent years, the use of identity construction theory to study institutional conversation has become one of the research hotspots in the field of pragmatics. Based on the real doctor-patient conversation corpus, this study analyzes how doctors construct their identity in the special context of doctor-patient conversation from the perspective of interpersonal pragmatics. This article first summarizes the four main identities that doctors construct in conversation: expert, comforter, educator and equal partner. Then, based on the four identities constructed by doctors, it analyzes whether gender factors affect the construction of different individualized identities of doctors. This research will provide a reference for doctors to choose a suitable conversational identity. It is hoped that this research will help doctors and patients better understand each other’s communicative intentions and play a role in promoting the realization of a harmonious doctor-patient relationship.
