“…Research has acknowledged two interrelated bases for evaluations of im/politeness: Norms and canons of social appropriateness (Eelen, 2001;Locher and Watts, 2005;Haugh, 2007;Holmes et al, 2011;Terkourafi, 2011) and the moral order of the society (Bargiela-Chiappini, 2003;Terkourafi, 2011;Kádár and Haugh, 2013;Haugh, 2013). Terkourafi (2011), in a meticulous survey of the history of politeness in different cultures, concludes that politeness, regardless of time and place, comprises a set of norms of propriety which has a regulatory role in society and is closely associated with the moral creed of the society (cf. also Bargiela-Chiappini, 2003).…”

“…However, operationalising a first-order approach is not without challenges: one difficulty is keeping these two orders separate (as noted in Eelen, 2001;Haugh, 2007Haugh, , 2012Terkourafi, 2011) and how, in practice, the first/second order distinction is operationalised in the analytic procedures. In this study, 'mock politeness' is a second-order concept which is investigated through a first-order metalanguage approach.…”

AbstractThis paper aims to cast light on the somewhat neglected area of mock politeness. The principle objectives are to describe the ways that mock politeness is talked about and performed. In order to investigate such usage, I analyse data from informal, naturally occurring conversations in a UK-based online forum. The paper introduces a range of metalinguistic expressions which are used to refer to mock polite behaviours in lay interactions and describes the different structures of mock polite behaviours. The analysis shows that both metalanguage and structure are more diverse than anticipated by previous research and, as a result, the paper argues against equating mock politeness with sarcasm and calls for further research into mock politeness as an important strategy of impoliteness.

“…Like Terkourafi (2011) andHaugh (2012), my approach requires a redefinition of politeness2, one that expands on Eelen's (2001) notion of politeness2 as a "scientific" model (as contrasted with politeness1, which refers to politeness as a "lay" concern). From my perspective, however, politeness2 is best understood not as a theoretical description of a given culture's politeness evaluations, classifications and behaviours, but rather as a fundamental principle that motivates individual instantiations of politeness evaluations, classifications and behaviours.…”

‘Maybe she just hasn’t matured yet’: Politeness, gate-keeping and the maintenance of status quo in a community of practice

Maybe she just hasn't matured yet': Politeness, gate-keeping and the maintenance of status quo in a community of practice Abstract: Politeness research has much to offer work that explores the complexities of gate-keeping in a community of practice. In this article I draw upon principles and terminology from politeness research to explore the tension that arises when members of a particular community of practice (a university field hockey team) who are morally opposed to homosexuality are confronted with the fact that some of their teammates are openly gay. This line of investigation relies upon a redefinition of politeness2: I define politeness2 as the moral compulsion to respect the boundaries around different levels of social structure, which include (but are not limited to) sets of attitudes, perspectives and priorities. In the hockey players' community of practice, two moral priorities are in conflict: an aversion to homosexuality on the one hand, and a desire for a friendly, socially inclusive club on the other. I investigate the various evaluative resources participants draw upon/produce in this community, which include evaluation schemes based upon the labels "rude" and "im/mature". I claim that the label "im/mature" -and concepts related to this label -function in this community as a means of concealing the conflict between the two moral priorities and maintaining a commitment to both.
