(IM)POLITENESS IN THE ELECTRONIC MEDIA

100%
EN
The paper describes deviations from the conventional norms of politeness in the process of communication via e-mail between students (as subordinates) and lecturers (as their superiors) in the English Department. It has been noted that the students are to a large extent unable to use an appropriate register in their e-mail correspondence, focusing more on the aspects of solidarity between interlocutors rather than power distance between them. These modifications manifest themselves through a variety of elements, e.g. a disregard for the norms of punctuation and spelling, the use of forms of address typical of the spoken interaction with peers, code-mixing between Polish and English, or the choice of vocabulary and style unsuitable for the type of relationship. All these violate the traditional linguistic etiquette. This is additionally augmented by the inappropriate phrasing of requests which formally often employ the markers characteristic for orders. These changes are attributed to the student's predominant exposure to electronic media communication in informal contexts which consequently acts as the prototype for the written communication process in the modern era.

Considerations combining the sociology of new media and the sociology of morals lead to the issue of netiquettes - heterogeneous savoir-vivre and ethical code of conduct in the Net. Netiquettes are an example of self-regulation of the first virtual societies, in particular - as per Manuel Castells - of technoelites and hackers. One could also consider the netiquette as some form of social contract on the Internet or even a modern trace of Hobbesian Leviathan. The content analysis of chosen netiquette provisions allows to determine the key attributes of the proper Internet user, as well as values to share and attitudes to be avoided. The author's research is based on the personal pattern concept as proposed by Maria Ossowska; this allows him to formulate the propagated personal pattern of the Internet user as well as two negative patterns. .

The article presents a conceptualization of a new form of community - virtual community. The author does not aspire to a holistic explication of the influence of new technology on the functioning of societies. She attempts rather to explain only one of its areas - that pertaining to the evolution of interpersonal interactions as shaped by new technology. This article poses the question whether it is possible for the virtual communities to form and function in an analogous manner to the communities in a real society. The author uses data from her own research; she also takes into consideration other empirical works, so that the results are complex and objective, and are far from one-sided and simplistic. The article shows the particular ethos of Internet community members and explains how their norms and values are played out on the Internet, also pointing out the implications of deviant behavior. The author tackles a vital ąuestion of role-play and identity building in virtual reality. Finally, she presents a typology of Internet users and Internet culture.
