Abstract

Public shaming of private figures in everyday settings is amplified through posting denunciations on social media platforms. The aim of this paper is to understand how the conduct of individuals targeted for online public shaming is not only construed as transgressive, but as warranting public denunciation in the first place through posting denunciations of their conduct on social media platforms. Public incivilities in encounters between strangers in public settings are discursively positioned as denounceable through framing that conduct as morally transgressive, which thereby legitimises public denunciation. However, because framing public conduct as transgressive necessarily involves selecting elements from a particular scene for public inspection and evaluation, public denunciations of public incivilities are always open to contestation.

（在线）公开谴责、公开无礼和冒犯

通过在社交媒体平台上发布谴责，日常生活中对私人人物的公开羞辱被放大了。本文的目的是了解被网络公开羞辱的个人的行为如何不仅被解释为违法行为，而且通过在社交媒体平台上发布对其行为的谴责，首先值得公众谴责。陌生人在公共场合遭遇的公开不文明行为被认为是可谴责的，因为这种行为在道德上是违法的，从而使公开谴责合法化。然而，由于将公共行为界定为违法行为必然涉及从特定场景中选择元素进行公众检查和评估，因此公众对公共不文明行为的谴责总是有争议的。

期刊介绍： This journal is unique in that it provides a forum devoted to the interdisciplinary study of language and communication. The investigation of language and its communicational functions is treated as a concern shared in common by those working in applied linguistics, child development, cultural studies, discourse analysis, intellectual history, legal studies, language evolution, linguistic anthropology, linguistics, philosophy, the politics of language, pragmatics, psychology, rhetoric, semiotics, and sociolinguistics. The journal invites contributions which explore the implications of current research for establishing common theoretical frameworks within which findings from different areas of study may be accommodated and interrelated. By focusing attention on the many ways in which language is integrated with other forms of communicational activity and interactional behaviour, it is intended to encourage approaches to the study of language and communication which are not restricted by existing disciplinary boundaries.
