A Study of the Verbal Conflict between Mother and Daughter-in-law in Desperate Housewives
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Ting-Toomey proposed face-negotiation theory in the 1980s. For years, face-negotiation theory has been used to explain conflict in communication and cultural differences related to communication. As we know, conflict is a very natural phenomenon in the conversation of different cultures. However, people have different ways to solve the conflict. This paper studies the conflict between mother and daughter-in-law in TV series. The extracts come from the American TV series Desperate Housewives. The paper aims to answer the two research questions: (1) does the conflict style between family members like mother and daughter-in-law in American TV series Desperate Housewives is also dominating? (2) If it is, how the conversation proceeds under the dominating style? After analyzing the materials, we find that the conflict style between mother and daughter-in-law in American TV series Desperate Housewives is dominating. In addition, although the conflict style between mother and daughter-in-law in American TV series Desperate Housewives is dominating, people also emphasize on the social harmony among family members. Key words: conflict, face-negation theory, mother and daughter-in-law Resume: Ting-Toomey propose la theorie de la negation de face dans les annees 1980. Depuis des annees, la theorie de la negociation de face a ete utilisee pour expliquer les conflits dans la communication et les differences culturelles relatives a la communication. Comme nous le savons, le conflit est un phenomene naturel dans la conversation des cultures differentes. Cependant, les gens ont de differents moyens pour resoudre le conflit. Le present article traite le conflit entre la mere et la belle-fille dans les feuilletons televisuels. Les extraits viennent d’un feuilleton americain- Maitresses de maison desesperees. L’article vise a repondre deux questions : (1) Est-ce que le style conflictif entre les membres familiales, comme la mere et la belle-fille dans les Maitresses de maison desesperees, est encore dominant ? (2) Si oui, comment la conversation s’engage sous le style dominant ? Apres avoir analyse les materiels, nous trouvons que le style conflictif entre le mere et la belle-fille dans les Maitresses de maison desesperees est dominant. Mais malgre cela, on insiste aussi sur l’harmonie sociale entre les membres familiales. Mots-Cles: conflit, theorie de la negociation de face, mere et belle-fille 摘 要：Ting-Toomey在十九世紀八十年代提出了面子磋商理論。多年來，該理論被用來解釋交際中的衝突和有關交際的文化差異。正如我們所瞭解的，不同文化間的言語對話中產生衝突是很自然的現象，然而人們總是有不同的方法去解決這些衝突。本文致力於研究電視劇中婆媳之間的言語衝突，目的是想回答兩個問題：（1）美國電視劇《絕望主婦》中像婆媳這種家庭成員間的衝突類型是屬於支配型嗎？（2）如果是的話，談話在這種衝突類型下是怎麼進行的？通過對材料的分析，我們發現美國電視劇《絕望主婦》中婆媳之間的衝突類型是支配型。另外，雖然這種衝突是支配型，他們也重視家庭成員之間的和諧相處。 關鍵詞：衝突；面子磋商理論；婆媳

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
