Abstract

The study of politeness has always been one of the focuses in the field of pragmatics. In contrast, impoliteness, the opposite of polite utterances, has barely been explored. Impoliteness was once regarded as the violation of the "Politeness Principle", and therefore, had negative pragmatic effect. In fact, impoliteness also has positive pragmatic functions and can construct harmonious international relationships. This paper, based on Culpeper's Impoliteness Framework, attempts to explore the positive functions of impoliteness by using the examples collected from "Day Day Up", a TV talk show program produced by Hunan TV. It is hoped that the findings will be helpful to understand the impoliteness in communication and promote the development of impoliteness theories.
