Abstract

Abstract Drawing on a Symbolic Interactionist perspective and the Grounded Theory methodology, this study aimed to explore self-denigration from the perspective of Iranian applied linguists highlighting the significance of self-denigration as an in-group relational ritual in Iranian doctoral defense sessions. The data were obtained from rigorous coding of the transcripts of two focus groups and a questionnaire built on the findings of the focus group discussions. The findings indicated significant gender differences in terms of the participants’ attitudes toward the functions and meanings of self-denigration. Academic experience was also found to be an important factor in how the participants perceived self-denigration. Through a meticulous analysis of self-denigration in doctoral defense sessions, the present study sheds light on the norms and conventions of the academic discourse of defense sessions, thereby justifying the rights and obligations of the defense session participants.
伊朗博士答辩中的集体自我诋毁仪式:应用语言学家的态度、功能和焦点感知
摘要本研究以象征互动主义的视角和扎根理论的方法论,从伊朗应用语言学家的角度探讨自我诋毁,并强调自我诋毁作为一种群体内关系仪式在伊朗博士答辩中的重要性。这些数据是通过对两个焦点小组的记录进行严格编码和根据焦点小组讨论结果编制的问卷获得的。研究发现,被试对自我贬低的功能和意义的态度存在显著的性别差异。学术经历也被发现是参与者如何感知自我贬低的一个重要因素。本研究通过对博士辩论赛中自我诋毁行为的细致分析,揭示了辩论赛学术话语的规范和惯例,从而为辩论赛参与者的权利和义务辩护。

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.
