Advisor Dr. Yazid Basthomi M.A. Key words Facebook flaming impoliteness online group The aim of this study is to investigate how language is used in an impolite way. Thus the theoretical framework of Culpeper s (1996) impoliteness theory is taken into account. According to Culpeper (2005 38) impoliteness comes about when (1) the speaker communicates face-attack intentionally or (2) the hearer perceives behavior as intentionally face-attacking or a combination of (1) and (2). This present study concentrates on the impoliteness strategies applied in the computer-mediated communication. The data in this study were taken from online group discussions which were featured on a social networking site called Facebook (www.facebook.com). The form of the data was written messages also called as posts which were posted by Facebook users in certain groups and considered as flaming or containing impoliteness strategies. One group was chosen as the main source of the data where a number of different topics were discussed by the participants. The group was Edward Cullen Can Eat My Shorts The Original Anti-Twilight Series Group with the selected topic Before you criticize the books make sure you have read them. Culpeper s (1996) classification of impoliteness strategies consisting of bald on record impoliteness positive impoliteness negative impoliteness sarcasm and withhold politeness was used to classify the data without neglecting any possibilities of new findings or classifications found in this research. The data analysis showed that among all of the impoliteness strategies applied in the group discussion the one which is mostly used by the participants of the chosen group is Positive Impoliteness (40.9%) followed by Negative Impoliteness (18.2%) Sarcasm or Mock Politeness (18.2%) Attribute-based Impoliteness (13.6%) Bald-on-Record Impoliteness (9.1%) and the only strategy with no occurrence is Withhold Impoliteness (0%). Attribute-based Impoliteness strategy was categorized as new finding since Culpeper (1996) did not put it in his theory yet the occurrence of such impoliteness was noticed in the present study. Whereas the strategy of Withhold Politeness was not found in the group since the characteristics of this strategy are mainly applicable to face-to-face interaction.
