Abstract The aim of the present academic discussion note is to generate feedback on a recent project that revisits the nature of speech acts as analytic constructs for politeness theory. While speech act has been largely discredited in the field, we believe that they need to be kept in the core of politeness inquiries, in particular if we approach them in combination with other units of analysis. In addition, there are instances in which speech act unavoidably becomes the focal point of research. To discuss this latter notion, we introduce the concept of ritual frame and argue that speech act must be put in the core of an analysis if there is a tension between a ritual frame – an interactional scene in which rights and obligation prevail and the interactants are highly aware of who and where they are – and a particular speech act. As a case study, we examine reflections on an alleged apology in a recent Mixed Martial Arts match.

从仪式的角度重新审视言语行为：讨论笔记

摘要本学术讨论笔记的目的是在最近的一个项目中获得反馈，该项目重新审视了作为礼貌理论的分析结构的言语行为的本质。尽管言语行为在该领域已大失所望，但我们认为，言语行为应保持在礼貌查询的核心，特别是如果我们将其与其他分析单位结合使用时，则尤其如此。另外，在某些情况下，言语行为不可避免地成为研究的重点。为了讨论后一个概念，我们介绍了礼仪框架的概念，并指出，如果礼仪框架之间存在张力，那么言语行为就必须置于分析的核心。礼仪框架是权利和义务占主导地位的互动场景，而互动者是高度了解他们的身份和位置-以及特定的言语举止。作为案例研究
