Abstract

This article discusses features of verbal politeness occurring in three different types of the media interviews with athletes: standard interviews (on the radio), interviews typical of sports journalism (post-event micro-interviews), and the most recent forms of communication with athletes (interviews on the Internet). The research, which involved using the pragmalinguistic methodology and the linguistic-communicative approach, confirms that the participants of this type of interactions strive for cooperation and use Polish strategies of verbal politeness. The analysis has identified three groups of features of verbal politeness: phrases related to elementary politeness, phrases related to formal etiquette, and polite speech formulas.
