Abstract

The present paper aims to  show how Culpeper's ( 1996) impoliteness theory, Andersen's (1999) categorization of nonverbal communication and  Bousfield's (2008) strategies of responding to impoliteness  are effective tools in investigating verbal and nonverbal impoliteness in Adam series and Hiyya FawDa ( It is Chaos) movie. It also examines the relation between power and impoliteness.  In addition, it indicates the association between intention and impoliteness. The results showed that the interlocutors  employed four types of impoliteness strategies in the series. Positive impoliteness and negative impoliteness were ranked the highest in the series. Their occurrence was equivalent because each type occurred (28) times, with a percentage of (41.5%).  With regard to the movie, the inetractants used bald on record impoliteness, positive impoliteness, and negative impoliteness. Positive impoliteness came in the first position; it occurred (21) times with a percentage of (53.8%). In addition, there was a strong connection between impoliteness and power which stimulated the high-ranked persons to use impoliteness enormously. Moreover, all speakers intended to damage the hearer's face. Furthermore, nonverbal communication played a fundamental role in creating impoliteness in both the series and the movie. Additionally, all types of responses to impolite utterances were adopted in the series and the movie.
