Abstract

Abstract

The interpersonal goal of business communication is by default to foster concord and avoid discord，and thus study on linguistic（im）politeness has increasingly become a hot issue in business discourse research.（Im）politeness is determined to a large extent by the organizational goal of business communication.Professionals in business adopt politeness and impoliteness strategies to construct identity，to enact power，and tomaintain community of practice.
