Abstract This study takes a discursive approach (cf. Watts 1989, 2008; Locher 2004, 2006, 2011, 2012; Locher and Watts 2005, 2008; Mills 2011; van der Bom and Mills 2015), to analyze online postings as social behavior for use in other/second language (im)politeness instruction. The criteria for inclusion are authenticity, complexity, diversity and feasibility. This means the postings need to (1) be created for a social purpose, not an instructional one; (2) be pragmatically rich and exemplify evaluations of (in)appropriate behavior; (3) illustrate variety in their underlying social norms and values; as well as (4) lend themselves to examination by learners and provoke reflection in conjunction with participatory learning activities. The analysis found that postings from online fora can meet these criteria and identifies (a manageable number of) posts for which participatory learning activities were developed. In combination the posts and the activities are used to enhance awareness of the complexity of (im)politeness in social encounters, especially in intercultural interactions, and the omnipresent and emergent nature of (im)politeness. They have been used in a university setting to sensitize the L2 learner to differences in the views, judgments and negotiations of what constitutes polite or impolite behavior between as well as within speech communities.

分析在线帖子作为社交行为，以表达对（im）礼貌的L2指导：敏锐德语或英语的高级学习者

摘要这项研究采用了一种话语方法（比照Watts 1989，2008; Locher 2004，2006，2011，2012; Locher and Watts 2005，2008; Mills 2011; van der Bom and Mills 2015），将在线帖子作为社交行为进行分析。在其他/第二语言（im）礼貌说明中使用。列入的标准是真实性，复杂性，多样性和可行性。这意味着需要（1）创建发布是出于社交目的，而不是出于指导目的；（2）务实地丰富并举例说明对（不当）行为的评价；（3）说明其基本社会规范和价值观的多样性；（4）参加学习者的考试，并在参与式学习活动中引起反思。分析发现，来自在线论坛的帖子可以满足这些条件，并且可以识别（可控制数量的）针对其开展了参与式学习活动的帖子。这些职位和活动结合起来，可以增强人们对社交场合（尤其是跨文化​​互动）中（im）礼貌的复杂性以及（im）礼貌无所不在和突现性的认识。它们已被用于大学环境中，以使二语学习者对在意见群体之间以及在言语群体之间构成礼貌或不礼貌行为的观点，判断和谈判有所不同。特别是在跨文化的互动中，以及礼貌无所不在的出现。它们已被用于大学环境中，以使二语学习者对在意见群体之间以及在言语群体之间构成礼貌或不礼貌行为的观点，判断和谈判有所不同。特别是在跨文化的互动中，以及礼貌无所不在的出现。它们已被用于大学环境中，以使二语学习者对在意见群体之间以及在言语群体之间构成礼貌或不礼貌行为的观点，判断和谈判有所不同。
