Abstract

Abstract The aim of this article is to explore how politeness is conceptualized in modern Russia. The study adopts a bottom-up approach and gathers conceptualizations of different aspects of politeness by lay native Russian speakers. This study uses an open-ended questionnaire to elicit the concepts people generally associate with politeness, descriptive labels for polite people, as well as individual experiences of polite and impolite behavior. The data for the research was gathered through 50 questionnaires composed of five questions. In total, 217 metapragmatic comments and 155 recollections of past experiences were obtained. The results of this study suggest that politeness is understood mostly in terms of expectable social behavior and serves a regulatory function. It indicates that culturally-specific concepts can fit into the framework of personal, relational and social underpinnings of politeness. This vision embraces a holistic view on politeness as a social tool of efficient interaction.
俄罗斯一阶礼貌概念化研究
摘要本文旨在探讨礼貌在现代俄罗斯是如何被概念化的。本研究采用自下而上的方法,收集了以俄语为母语的非专业人士对礼貌不同方面的概念。本研究使用开放式问卷来引出人们通常与礼貌相关的概念、礼貌人的描述性标签,以及礼貌和不礼貌行为的个人体验。这项研究的数据是通过50份问卷收集的,问卷由五个问题组成。总共获得217条元片评论和155条对过去经历的回忆。本研究的结果表明,礼貌主要是从可预期的社会行为来理解的,并起到调节作用。它表明,特定文化的概念可以融入礼貌的个人、关系和社会基础的框架中。这一观点包含了对礼貌作为有效互动的社会工具的整体看法。

期刊介绍: The Journal of Politeness Research responds to the urgent need to provide an international forum for the discussion of all aspects of politeness as a complex linguistic and non-linguistic phenomenon. Politeness has interested researchers in fields of academic activity as diverse as business studies, foreign language teaching, developmental psychology, social psychology, sociolinguistics, linguistic pragmatics, social anthropology, cultural studies, sociology, communication studies, and gender studies. The journal provides an outlet through which researchers on politeness phenomena from these diverse fields of interest may publish their findings and where it will be possible to keep up to date with the wide range of research published in this expanding field.
