Research on the apology spans over half a century and has been quite prolific. Yet, a major issue with numerous studies on apologies is a lack of findings from naturally occurring interaction. Instead many studies examine written elicitations. As a result they research how respondents think they apologize, not how they do apologize. This project, in contrast, stresses the importance of studying the apology as a dynamically constructed politeness strategy in situated interaction. Apologies are part of the ever-present relational work, i.e., co-constructed and co-negotiated, emergent relationships in a situated social context. Hence, the focus is not on the illocutionary force indicating device (IFID) alone, nor on the turn in which the IFID is produced, but on the interactional exchange in situ. Naturally, data eliciting produces a larger sample size of apologies than the taping and transcribing of naturally occurring interaction does. To remedy the issue, this study uses interactions from situation comedies, which provide a large sample of apologies in their interactional context. Sitcom interactions constitute a valid focus of pragmatic research as they share fundamental elements of natural interactions ( B. Mills 2009 ; Quaglio 2009 ). The validity of this approach is tested using findings from published conversation analytic studies on apologies. The analysis is set within the framework of discursive pragmatics and leads to new insights on apologies and responses to apologies.

“我要道歉”

关于道歉的研究跨越了半个世纪,并且研究水平很高。然而,许多关于道歉的研究的主要问题是缺乏自然发生的相互作用的发现。取而代之的是,许多研究都检查了书面启发。结果,他们研究的是受访者认为自己道歉的方式,而不是道歉的方式。相比之下,该项目强调了将道歉作为一种动态构建的礼貌策略来进行情境互动研究的重要性。道歉是当前存在的关系工作的一部分,即在一个处在社会环境中的共同构建和共同协商的紧急关系。因此,重点不仅放在言外之力指示装置(IFID)上,也不是在产生IFID的转弯上,而是在原地的交互作用上。自然,数据诱发产生的歉意的样本量比自然发生的相互作用的录音和转录要大。为了解决这个问题,本研究使用情境喜剧的交互作用,这些情境喜剧在交互作用的背景下提供了大量的道歉示例。Sitcom交互构成务实研究的有效焦点,因为它们共享自然交互的基本元素(B. Mills 2009; Quaglio 2009)。使用已发表的关于道歉的对话分析研究中的发现来检验这种方法的有效性。该分析是在话语语用学的框架内进行的,并导致对道歉和道歉反应的新见解。在他们的互动环境中提供了大量的道歉示例。Sitcom交互构成务实研究的有效焦点,因为它们共享自然交互的基本元素(B.
