主讲内容：

In this talk, I will overview interaction ritual theory in an accessible way, and will present recent developments in this theory which I presented in Kadar (2024). I will also overview why interaction ritual is a particularly insightful concept in the study of politeness and impoliteness. I will argue that ritual allows the scholar to systematically describe various phenomena which are important in our daily social interaction and which have not received sufficient attention in the mainstream of politeness research. I will draw case studies from a variety of contexts from Chinese. At the end of the talk, I will discuss why and how building on interaction ritual theory is useful for early-career scholars who wish to disseminate their research in leading academic journals.
