“…As demonstrated in the above examples, a moderate contextualist account would be rather insufficient (Parvaresh and Tayebi 2018) to establish the instances of taking offence that are experienced and/or portrayed in these situations. Taking on the role of an interpreter, the hearer in this context, develops not just his/her understanding of the interaction in question, but engenders new meanings and/or discourses within the course of an interaction.…”

“…However, on many occasions during the course of an interaction, it is clearly evident that there is dissonance, or rather lack of agreement or harmony, between the speaker and the hearer in how they evaluate certain language (or conduct) as offensive (Tayebi 2016;Parvaresh and Tayebi 2018;Haugh and Chang 2019). This is particularly important because, in reality, impoliteness is not always resolved.…”

Many researchers in impoliteness studies have set themselves the task of determining, amongst other things, (i) what linguistic or non-linguistic phenomena can cause offence, and (ii) why people take offence. However, the reality of interaction clearly shows that, on many occasions, there appears to be a marked dissonance between the speaker and hearer in their evaluations of offensive language, even in locally situated interaction. More research is therefore needed to account for and explain why and how the hearer assigns a particularly offensive meaning to an utterance during the course of an interaction. With this aim, and by drawing on insight from what is referred to as “radical contextualism”, in this study we discuss the possibility of looking at how interactants can arrive at their own (subjective) evaluations of impoliteness in ways that do not match up with the alleged intentions of the so-called offender. Drawing on a number of exchanges that involve such instances of taking offence, we will argue that the taking of offence should best be viewed as a process over which the hearer has a more active control. Accordingly, the paper contributes to current attempts at explaining the variability involved in the taking of offence.

“…6 While these rituals can generate controversies in the broader society, their symbolic function is clear. Less clear is the connection between mundane interaction ritual and the reproduction of moral order, though this is the subject of emerging lines of exciting research in sociology (Alexander et al 2006;Collins 2005) and in pragmatics (Kádár 2017;Parvaresh and Tayebi 2018).…”

Everyday incivility and the urban interaction order

Treating uncivil encounters as breaches of the ritual contract of civil inattention (Goffman 1963), this article connects ritualized interaction between strangers in everyday life and the production and maintenance of moral order more generally. The ongoing enactment of the ritual of civil inattention maintains and characterizes the particular kind of moral order that strangers collectively produce in urban public spaces. Drawing on select empirical materials – from unsolicited commentary to queue-jumping – gathered under the auspices of the Researching Incivility in Everyday Life (RIEL) Project this article builds upon the ‘everyday incivilities’ approach pioneered by Smith, Phillips and King (2010) to examine moral dimensions of everyday encounters between strangers. Preliminary analysis of the RIEL data indicates that ritual dimensions of interaction between strangers in public space provide interactants with moral affordances, that is, opportunities to align themselves with an idealized moral order through projective moral action.

“…Drawing on an episode of Shakespeare's tragedy Timon of Athens, he finds that politeness and impoliteness strategies in the use of implicature are sometimes needed especially when a speaker wants to create conflict or disharmony on purpose. Of the same issue, Parvaresh & Tayebi (2018) also study impoliteness as reflected in a Facebook wall of the Iranian actress. They found that impoliteness depends heavily on the shared beliefs or norms of society.…”

Testing a theory is required to give room for the theory to improve and develop. This research is conducted for this reason. Specifically, this research is designed to identify the topics and reason of the violation of the maxim of quantity when the implicature is generated to complement the writer's earlier research. The data were collected by taking notes of the implicature produced by the participants during lunchtime at Universitas Katolik De La Salle Manado. The result shows that in the violation of the maxim of quantity, participants use implicature mostly to share information. The most significant topics in the violations of the maxim of quantity are jobs and people.
