Factori (extra) lingvistici ai strategiilor politeţii pozitive (complimentul, mulţumirea) în discursul televizual românesc actual. (Romanian)

The aim of the present paper is to analyse expressive speech acts in Romanian, complimenting and thanking, used like positive politeness strategies in media discourse. We explored, sequentially, in own recorded transcripts, representing the current spoken Romanian corpus, cultural television programs (talk show, TV debate and interview): Garantat 100%, moderated by Cătălin Ştefănescu, Nocturne, show moderated by Marina Constantinescu, Profesioniştii, made by Eugenia Vodă, COOLtura, by Mirela Nagîţ. Media texts represent forms of social interaction, discursive macrostructures in which television generets an imaginary, a so-called “collective catharsis” (Daniela Zeca-Buzura) of a social nature consisting in the release of impulses, of taboos buried in the unconscious, the viewer being subjected to a show therapy. Emotional attitudes are very important in expressing responses to complementing and thanking (minimizing the debt, expressing pleasure, reciprocating, acknowledging the thanks, expressing intimacy, greeting, congratulating, apologizing, welcoming etc.), thus illustrating the involvement of the (extra)linguistic factors that determine these strategies of positive politeness.
