| Abstract This study focuses on the politeness strategies used by Arab users for redressing the effect of face threatening acts in (133) asynchronous Facebook comments. It is hypothesized that Arabs are less polite than they would be in face-to-face interaction. In addition, on-record has the maximum realization. However, variations of forms are realized through the use of each politeness strategy. Finally, Facebook comments involve hostile and abusive message content. The study has shown that positive strategy is the most frequently used one. Besides, negative politeness strategy is the least used strategy whereas on-record and off-record strategies have the same frequency. Moreover, variations among the realizations of each strategy are emerged. Finally, Facebook comments have somehow hostile and abusive tones. | ||
