The landscape of impoliteness research (2015, unknown): “In other words, they will recognize the face-threat, which is why it should be conceptualized as (second order) impoliteness as well (Culpeper 1996, 2005, 2011; Bousfield 2007a, 2008a, 2010).”
Impoliteness and taking offence in initial interactions (2015, methodology): “…model outlining the range of different impoliteness triggers that may cause offence has been developed (Culpeper, 1996, 2005, 2011, 2015), our understanding of the interactional dynamics of taking offence, while acknowledged as important (Bousfield, 2008; Culpeper, 2011) is much more circumscribed.”
Thirty shades of offensiveness: L1 and LX English users’ understanding, perception and self-reported use of negative emotion-laden words (2016, background): “Recent pragmatic work has focused on emotion and impoliteness (Culpeper 2011; Langlotz and Locher, 2012; Langlotz and Locher, 2013; Langlotz and Soltysik Monnet (2014) but still lags behind areas in pragmatic research such as speech acts.”
Epilogue: The first-second order distinction in face and politeness research (2012, background): “More recent theorization of im/politeness, or “relational work” more broadly, continues this tradition of drawing upon the notion of face to account for interpersonal phenomena (Locher and Watts 2005, 2008; Spencer-Oatey 2005, 2007; Arundale 2006, 2010a; Culpeper 2011; cf. Mills 2003).”
Trolling in asynchronous computer-mediated communication: From user discussions to academic definitions (2010, methodology): “…is the only valid means of developing a social theory of politeness”, but diverging from Watts and adopting approaches used by, among others, Culpeper (2010) and Bousfield (in press), the aim of this paper is to build a working definition of “trolling” from lay user discussions of this term.”
“Love ya, jerkface”: Using Sparse Log-Linear Models to Build Positive and Impolite Relationships with Teens (2012, background): “…and expression of rapport is complex, and can also be signaled through negative, or impolite, exchanges (Straehle, 1993; Watts, 2003; Spencer-Oatey, 2008) that communicate affection and relationship security among intimates who can ﬂout common social norms (Culpeper, 2011; Kienpoint-ner, 1997).”
