IMPOLITENESS IN: “A 14 YEAR OLD GROOM” BY ANDON Z. ÇAJUPI

Abstract

Various studies have been carried out on The Impoliteness Theory, in various contexts as well as in works of art where dialogue is present. One reason why it is considered as a source of humor would be the fact that it encourages willingness to read, another reason would be the fact that characters appear with a variety of behaviors, alongside Politeness we meet Impoliteness. This paper aims to analyze the dialogue between Tana and Kote, two female characters from “A 14 year old groom” written by Andon Z. Çajupi . The Impoliteness super strategies, the face threatening acts, the fulfillment of Grice’s Cooperation Maxims, turn- taking in dialog, the sentence structures and the lexical units will serve as the basis for this analysis. Through the dialogue analysis of these two characters, it is seen how the Impoliteness  is realized in the works of the Albanian author and the other dimensions of the characters’ behavior it provides us with, adding thus to the totality of a characters’ behavior.
