About

Sage Lambert Graham is a leading scholar in the field of sociolinguistics, with a primary focus on (im)politeness in digital communication. Her work explores how norms of respectful and disrespectful interaction are understood, constructed, and renegotiated in mediated environments, bridging traditional politeness theory with the unique dynamics of online discourse. Her most cited work, the chapter "(Im)politeness in Digital Communication" (2017, 79 citations), provides a foundational overview of this intersection, examining how digital contexts reshape expectations of appropriate behavior. Beyond this, Graham has contributed significantly to understanding identity construction and relational work in computer-mediated communication, offering insights into how individuals manage face and social relationships in virtual spaces. Her research is widely recognized for its methodological rigor and theoretical depth, making her a key voice in contemporary politeness studies. With her work regularly cited by scholars in pragmatics, discourse analysis, and digital communication, Graham continues to shape how we understand the evolving landscape of human interaction online.
