Abstract

The always green stock market of the first half of the 2020, despite the precaution of the experts, caught the eyes of many unfamiliar investors to invest in the stock market whose final and fatal downfall left a lot of such people bereft of almost all what they had; this subject, discussed in https://tejaratnews.com led to sometimes impolite behavior of the readers. The study adopts Neurauter-Kessels’ framework (2011) to identify the types of FTAs and Bousfield (2008) model of impoliteness as well as his taxonomy of addressee’s reaction to face attacks and impolite behaviors that are targeting other users to answer 1. Which kind of FTAs is the most prevalent? 2. Which type of impoliteness is mostly used by the users and 3. What kind of reactions did the addressees show in facing with these FTAs? The findings show that lack of consistency and direct impoliteness are the most widely used FTA and impoliteness. Facing FTAs and impoliteness, the addressees react offensively most of the time, though they sometimes react defensively as well. The research is of importance because it investigates the FTAs and impolite behaviors in the online interactions and uses some new research findings as its theoretical basis.
