In everyday life, impoliteness is understood as a violation of the established rules of etiquette. In the science of linguistic pragmatics, impolite behaviour is primarily associated with negatively evaluated behaviour, occuring in specific context. The object of this research is linguistic impoliteness in Lithuanian political debates. The aim is to reveal the manifestations of impoliteness, analyze face-threatening acts, ascertain what is characteristic of impoliteness during the debates. In order to achieve the goal, quantitative and qualitative content analysis methods were applied. The material for the study was collected from the debates before the elections to the Seimas for the 2016–2020 term. The total duration of the debates is 720 minutes. The analysis revealed that all participants are involved in the impoliteness. Another feature of impoliteness in debates is that politicians seek to increase their power through face-threatening acts. An examination of the propositional content of face-threatening acts revealed that opponents are often belittled by claiming that they are lying or hiding the truth. In most cases face-threatening speech acts are performed indirectly and expressed using internal and external modifications. This suggests that politicians in TV debates seek to damage their rival`s face in a way that does not harm their own face by applying indirect impoliteness strategies and by negatively describing their opponents` general competencies.

«A multiplicity of languages and cultures has entered the Italian school environment»: that is what is written in the introduction of the Indicazioni Nazionali per il curricolo della scuola dell'infanzia e del primo ciclo di istruzione (MIUR, 2012, p. 8). The ministerial document, which forms the framework for school curricula, describes the de facto multilingual situation which can be observed in all kinds of educational environments and in communities. In infancy educational services and in schools, the presence of girls and boys who practice another language at home has long been widespread and on the increase. After describing the pluralistic linguistic repertoires featured in schools, the essay presents some evidence collected in two kindergartens in Milan, as part of a training course. Teachers were invited to use a map of intra-family communication during interviews with foreign parents, in order to outline the children's language biographies, and to know the strategies and choices of the family. In the second part, the focus will be on some autobiographical fragments taken from literary texts in which the authors highlight the stages and steps they have gone through in their history of native bilinguals. Finally, a review of the legislation dealing with the themes of mother tongues, multilingualism and linguistic diversity in childcare and schools is presented. ; «Una molteplicità di lingue e culture è entrata nella scuola italiana. L' intercultura è già oggi il modello che permette a tutti i bambini e ragazzi il riconoscimento reciproco dell'identità di ciascuno»: così si legge nella parte introduttiva delle Indicazioni Nazionali per il curricolo della scuola dell'infanzia e del primo ciclo di istruzione (MIUR, 2012, p. 8). Il documento ministeriale, che fa da cornice ai programmi scolastici, descrive la situazione multilinguistica di fatto che si osserva nei luoghi educativi per tutti e nelle comunità. Nei servizi educativi per l'infanzia e nelle scuole, la presenza di bambine e bambini che a casa ...

This corpus-assisted analysis looks at the work of James R. Martin and Peter R.R. White for what concerns the appraisal theory which is the centre of this investigation. The aim of this study is to provide an answer of how news language is impacted by political discourse in the particular scenery of Brexit, that is by the various instruments journalists may adopt to create a piece of news and thus influence the reader. More specifically, to discover if attitudinal language is utilised in news language and which approaches are preferred by journalists. Moreover, the study provides a glossary to better understand Brexit.

The present study has attempted the analysis of public discourse and its moral expectations through metaphor at a contrastive level in the theoretical framework of cognitive linguistics. The study deals with the identification of morality models in public discourse in English and Lithuanian. The materials of the study consist of analytical political articles extracted from the online archives of two following websites: (1) www.economist.com, (2) www.politika.lt. The collected data amounts to 415, 670 words in total. Three methods of analysis were applied to the collected data: qualitative, quantitative and contrastive. The analysis reveals that political affairs in both cultures are framed by the same conceptual metaphors. The structural composition of the conceptual metaphors has been examined in terms of the following thirteen SOURCE domains: MOTION, RELATIONSHIP, STRENGTH, HEALTH, SPORTS, WAR, ESSENCE, BUSINESS, DIRT, SENSES, WHOLENESS, THEATRE, and ANIMALS. The cross-mapping between SOURCE domains and TARGET domains is held by different epistemic correspondences, which leads to the variability of MORALITY models across the two languages, i.e. English and Lithuanian. British politics tends to be more varied in its moral expectations, which derive from three types of Morality Systems: Pragmatic, Rational and Integrated. Thus, the moral expectations governing British political discourse are based on the Complex Morality Model. By contrast, Lithuanian politics is predominantly governed by the Pragmatic Morality Model.
