Chapter Three Theoretical Foundation
3.1 The Theory of Interpersonal Pragmatics
The term“interpersonal pragmatics”is used to designate examinations of therelational aspect of interactions between people that both affect and are affected bytheir understanding of culture,society,and their own and others’interpretations.(Locher&Graham,2010,p.2).It examines how speakers influence others,expresspoliteness,manage face and convey social meanings beyond the literal content oftheir utterances.Key concepts include politeness theory which looks at how speakersmanage face and mitigate potential threats to it,and speech acts which analyze howutterances function as actions,such as making requests or giving compliments.Interpersonal pragmatics is concerned with the way language reflects and reinforcespower dynamics in interaction.Speakers may use certain linguistic strategies,likegiving directives,interrupting or choosing formal language to assert authority.Conversely,expressions of solidarity,such as using informal or familiar language,create closeness and equality among interlocutors.Locher and Watts(2005)introduced the concept of“relational work”which focuses on how interlocutorsmanage relationships through language.Relational work encompasses bothpoliteness and impoliteness strategies as well as everyday and routinecommunicative behaviors that fall between overt politeness and rudeness.
