Los estudios sobre (des)cortesía y actividades de imagen en las redes sociales: notas para un estado de la cuestión

This article is a brief literature review about the research that has emerged in recent years concerning (im)politeness and facework strategies carried out in social networks. We have analyzed how the key areas identified by Spencer-Oatey (2000) in her rapport management model have been studied: the illocutionary, the participatory, the stylistic and the discursive scopes. It will allow us to demonstrate how social networks promote the emergence of new channels of interaction through computer-mediated communication which have been pointed out by researchers in discourse analysis.
