Abstract

 

Conflict talk is a complicated and universal language phenomenon, which often leads to communication failure and hinders the successful interaction of two parties. Conflict talk has been extensively examined in linguistic fields, but the discussion of conflict talk together with possible ways to response, especially from the perspective of power relations, has been found to be quite few. Therefore, this study aims to look into this topic from this perspective, on the basis of theories of conversational analysis, politeness theory and face theory.

Dialogs in the English TV series Downton Abbey are collected as conflict talk data. After careful analysis and discussion qualitatively and quantitatively, the study comes to the conclusion that power relations have great impact on the choice of conversational strategies in conflict talk, and the participants should adopt appropriate strategies accordingly: the more powerful participants can choose constructive strategies (such as withdrawal and humor), destructive strategies(such as threat and order), and strategies in-between (such as opposing question and sarcasm),while the less powerful ones are more limited in strategy choosing. But since constructive strategies attach more importance to politeness, for the sake of a cordial and harmonious atmosphere, they are more advisable for both parts. With these findings, the research helps to better illuminate patterns and functions of conflict talk and also provides theoretical guidance for people to face conflict talk strategically.

 

Keywords: conversational strategies; conflict talk; power relations; conversational analysis; face
