摘要

冲突话语在人际互动中是一种普遍而又复杂的语言现象，而人们在日常交流中通常遵循礼貌原则的准则。本论文以《小谢尔顿》这部广受欢迎的美国情景喜剧中的家庭日常会话为语料基础，采用定性的研究方法，以利奇的礼貌原则为理论支撑。本文将进一步分析讨论家庭成员之间的冲突话语的产生原因以及冲突话语的语言表现形式。本研究重点探讨家庭成员之间是如何故意违反礼貌原则而产生冲突话语，实现说话者的交际意图，例如以达到情感发泄，或维护自身的身份，家庭中的地位，话语权等目的。本研究通过探讨不礼貌产生的原因，提出如何减少或者避免冲突话语的解决策略，有助于增进人们对家庭冲突话语的交际本质的认识，旨在化解冲突，营造融洽的家庭环境，促进人际关系和谐。
