Abstract This article is an attempt to investigate theoretically and empirically how the emotion of anger is used in political discourse. The descriptive analysis is centred around the conversational analysis of anger, as present in the verbal exchanges in the UK parliamentary debates, correlated with the variables of power (P), social distance (D), and the concept of valence. The key idea underbracing this article is that affect permeates social communication. The central claims of this study focus on explaining how the socio-pragmatic variables of (P) and (D) weave the fabric of conflict talk and how they constitute the springboard for structuring the affective message in a tangible framework of social practice. The questions that inspire the current paper are the following: (1) How does anger determine the relationships of power and distance? (2) What is the reaction of the Offender and Defender in anger-driven interaction? (3) Are the roles of the ‘Emoter’ and ‘Receiver’ of anger evenly distributed in verbal communication? (4) Are valence and its strength indicators of anger experience? The paper concentrates on three theoretical problems including: (1) anger as an intrinsically threatening emotion, (2) anger as a constituent of context, and (3) anger as a gradable emotion. In addition, this study aims to explore how threats to positive face value in the form of unambiguous literal meaning that convey evaluative load (accusations, criticism, insult, irony, imposition etc.), explicitly provide information on P and D shifts in anger-driven discursive action.

愤怒进行中：英国议会辩论中语言交流的社会语用分析

摘要本文试图从理论和经验上探讨愤怒情绪在政治话语中的运用。描述性分析的重点是对愤怒的对话分析，正如英国议会辩论中的口头交流中所述，与权力（P），社会距离（D）和效价概念相关。支撑本文的关键思想是影响力渗透到社交交流中。这项研究的中心主张集中于解释（P）和（D）的社会语用变量如何编织冲突谈话的结构，以及它们如何构成在社会实践的有形框架中构造情感信息的跳板。激发当前论文的问题如下：（1）愤怒如何确定力量与距离的关系？（2）在愤怒驱动的互动中，犯罪者和辩护者有何反应？（3）口头交流中，“发怒”和“接受者”的角色是否均匀分布？（4）化合价及其强度是愤怒经历的指标吗？本文着重于三个理论问题，包括：（1）愤怒是一种内在的威胁情感；（2）愤怒是情境的组成部分；（3）愤怒是一种可分级的情感。此外，本研究旨在探讨以明确的字面意义对正面值的威胁如何传达评估力（指责，批评，侮辱，讽刺，强加等），并明确提供有关愤怒中P和D转变的信息。驱动的话语行动。
