Abstract

This study attempts to explore the online offence through the analysis of its linguistic devices and the revelation of its pragmatic features. Enlightened by the theory of (im) politeness, the present study firstly attempts to define online offence and identify the participation framework in online discussion boards. Then it discusses the various ways of achieving online offence and its intensification. Finally, it reveals pragmatic features of online offence. The study finds that: (1) online offence is mainly achieved by assertive derogating, directive compelling, commissive warning, and expressive swearing; (2) online offence can be intensified by modifiers and para-linguistic devices; (3) online offence is more explicitly expressed, more aggressive and sequential. It hopes this study can shed some light on impoliteness study under the context of impoliteness.
