چکیده

This paper is a belated acknowledgement of the role of politeness as conceptualised through indirect reporting. Politeness is quintessential in discussing a sound theory of social interaction in general and pragmatics in particular. After some general elaborations on ethical issues and moral standards during interaction, this paper introduces the concept of the ‘Dynamic Dialogic Ethic’ whereby it is argued that a scientific definition of ethics should pass through individuals’ viewpoints as the self- and other-regulatory entities in interaction based on sociocognitive factors. Indirect reports (as a complex language game) can act as a powerful tool to manipulate politeness. Indirect reporting closely embraces individuals’ appreciation of self-image (positive face), and their claim for personal preserves (negative face). The practice of indirect reporting creates responsibilities for all participants in indirect reporting. The reporter can use some parts of the original speaker’s speech to frighten the hearer, impose something upon him/her, or limit his/her freedom. In this case, indirect reporting is a paradigm example of negative impoliteness. Based on the discussion on the different impoliteness strategies by Culpeper (2016), this paper treats ‘third-person-report impoliteness’ in indirect reports. Additionally, the complicated case of accountability in indirect reporting is considered in this study and it is argued that based on the issue of strategic (im)politeness, the responsibility of reporting slurring is not a straightforward issue. The concept of ‘disagreement’ is dealt with in this study and several kinds of disagreement in indirect reporting are dealt with. This study mainly contributes to intercultural communication and interpretation studies.
