Resumen:
The concept of face is insufficient to account for the recurrent offensive behaviour towards the situationally subordinate participant. Institutional membership and position not only grant a degree of power that may be associated to the situational role and that is liable to the ongoing negotiation that takes place in face to face interaction. They are also part of a complex of social identity which accounts for the institutional participants? affiliation to one another and disaffiliation from witnesses in general and defence witnesses in particular. Therefore, an account of the feature of impoliteness that tends to be displayed by official interactions in the sociocultural practice of justice administration must transcend the social level of the institution and come to grips with constructs such as social field and society. That allows for the incorporation into the analysis of the effect of ideologies. In line with Eeleen (1999, 2001) and respecting the relative order of the elements involved, we can pose research questions regarding the discourse of a particular institution, which includes the degree of politeness of particular speech acts and as we have seen, entire interactions, and institutional ideologies including institutional ideologies of politeness. That can be done within Fairclough?s theory of discourse which is informed by social theory and succeeds in connecting interaction with society. In it, power is seen as concession and circulation as well as domination, and an integral part of its effects lies in the workings of ideology.
