SUMMARY:Mock Politeness in Two Victorian Plays: A Pragmastylistic Perspecti
 ve
DESCRIPTION:Mock politeness\, the inappropriate use of politeness strategie
 s\, has been described as an impolite linguistic phenomenon\, a mismatch b
 etween the surface form or meaning and underlying intention by previous st
 udies (Culpeper\, Haugh\, & Kádár\, 2017\; Taylor\, 2015\; etc.). Despit
 e featuring prominently in im/politeness studies and being discussed by li
 nguists\, mock politeness has nevertheless not received the attention it d
 eserves. This study seeks to further explore this issue by examining two V
 ictorian political plays by Oscar Wild and Bernard Shaw with special atten
 tion to politician characters\, who use mock politeness strategies to give
  or take offence\; they are saving and maintaining their faces and public 
 images while offending others’ faces and images. In my presentation\, I 
 will first introduce the notions\, theories and development of im/politene
 ss and mock politeness to provide a thorough overview of mock politeness. 
 Then\, I will discuss the rationale of the pragmatics of fiction to provid
 e a theoretical foundation for the analysis of literary communication\, na
 mely\, how mock politeness works in literary characterisation and dynamic 
 power relations at the intradiegetic level and works in the communication 
 between the playwrights and its recipients\, which engages the implied aut
 hor and implied reader at the extradiegetic level that conveys meanings an
 d ideologies.
