Conceptualizations of ugly and beautiful
The aim of this paper is to study conceptualizations of two Persian evaluative terms, namely zesht (ugly) and zibâ (beautiful), by focusing on their uses at the metapragmatic level in evaluations of im/polite act. To achieve this aim, by drawing on natural and authentic examples from Persian, the relationship between the use of the metapragmatic markers zesht and zibâ and the im/polite (non)linguistic act is addressed and the types of im/polite b…
Heterogeneous distribution of cultural conceptualizations and (im)politeness evaluations
The argumentative and variable nature of (im)politeness evaluations and perceptions has long been discussed by scholars working in the field. The variability found in the perception of (im)politeness norms is arguably one of the most important and fundamental components of (im)politeness research. By using a three-stage analysis and drawing on several authentic examples from Persian, the present study uses the notion of ‘heterogeneous distributio…
Taking offence at the (un)said
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…
Implying an impolite belief
The focus of this study is on a particular type of implied impoliteness in Persian commonly known as tikkeh . Given the lack of critical attention paid to the notion of implied impoliteness in the literature, the present study seeks to explore this issue further by addressing the following questions: (i) What is implied impoliteness? (ii) What are the properties which make it different from other types of conventionalized impoliteness? (iii) For …
Impoliteness, aggression and the moral order
Perception of (im)politeness and the underlying cultural conceptualisations
The present study sets out to investigate the role of ‘culture’ as one of the many important factors that influence the evaluation of (im)politeness in Persian from a Cultural Linguistics perspective. The paper argues that Cultural Linguistics, and in particular the notion of cultural schema, has the potential to offer a robust analytical framework for the exploration of (im)polite use of language. We elaborate on this proposal by presenting exam…
Why do people take offence? Exploring the underlying expectations
Vaguely Speaking in Persian
The present study sets out to investigate the structures and functions of vague expressions in Persian. The data under scrutiny include a 15-hour corpus of informal conversations. The corpus reveals some unique vague expressions including ‘rhyming words,’ ‘replacing expressions,’ and ‘the affective completer.’ Furthermore, a classificatory model is proposed that can be used to analyze vague expressions according to moment-by-moment communicative …
