A Discoursal Analysis of Politeness Strategies In Facebook Comments
الملخص
This study focuses on the politeness strategies used by Arab
users for redressing the effect of face threatening acts in (133)
asynchronous Facebook comments.
It is hypothesized that Arabs are less polite than they would be
in face-to-face interaction. In addition, on-record has the maximum
realization. However, variations of forms are realized through the use
of each politeness strategy. Finally, Facebook comments involve
hostile and abusive message content.
The study has shown that positive strategy is the most frequently
used one. Besides, negative politeness strategy is the least used
strategy whereas on-record and off-record strategies have the same
frequency. Moreover, variations among the realizations of each
strategy are emerged. Finally, Facebook comments have somehow
hostile and abusive tones.
