Negative Evaluation and Face Work in French and Italian Online Comments
Beschreibung:
The author examines Comments on recipes in a French and Italian cooking community. She discovers how users avoid open criticism and use various diluting strategies to ensure that the potential FTA is mitigated. These include, for example, messages formulated in the first person to deflect the criticism from the addressed person, and and praise aimed at balancing and putting the criticism into perspective.
