Following some previous lines of thought held by the author on
the role of politeness and related phenomena in face-to-face electoral debates,
this article deals with a series of linguistic devices frequently used by
participants in this adversarial genre, and commonly characterized as mitigated
aggression, in order to determine their main strategic values in the context of
both current politics and the mass media spectacle. By making use of a
methodology which combines both qualitative and quantitative analysis, it is
demonstrated that the meaning and context in which these resources appear in
electoral debate often contradict their literal meaning, and hence weaken the
moderating function which is operative in non-adversarial genres. This, as well
as other structural facts discussed in the article, allows us to understand some
apparent contradictions in the fact that more aggressive participants could
make the greatest use of both polite and impolite strategies; or that apparently
polite strategies appear mainly in the core phases of the debate where
aggressiveness and rudeness are the norm, and much less in the peripheral
parts, where the dialectic war tones down. [-]
