A produção/interpretação de eventos impolidos: recursos e práticas linguístico-discursivos sinalizadores de comportamento verbal agressivo

Abstract

This paper aims to identify how impoliteness is manifested by participants in conciliation hearings held in PROCON a city in Minas Gerais. We focus on impoliteness, showing its importance in the interaction. To treat the question of impoliteness appealed mainly to the work of Culpeper (1996, 2003, 2005, 2010). According to Culpeper (1996) there are many studies on strategies that promote or maintain social harmony in the interaction, but there are few studies on communication strategies that attack the party and cause disharmony. Culpeper (2010), based on studies done on impoliteness and definitions found in dictionaries impoliteness, noted that the issue of impoliteness is usually tied to particular types of behaviors considered negative reviews that take place in specific contexts, such as intituciuonais contexts, as is the case of conciliation hearings in PROCON. Let's see how the issue of impoliteness is related to the work face of the participants involved in the research context.
