Abstract Previous studies on (im)politeness seldom focus on the speech act of preaching. Based on the datasets in Chinese mediation television programs,I define‘preaching’as a speech act of the‘moralistic rebuke’in which the mediators deliver the moral instructions to urge acceptance or abandonment of an idea or a course of action in an impolite manner.I categorize this kind of preaching as a‘meta-impoliteness strategy’ through which the preachers do not intend to cause offense to the addressees but to remind them of their impolite or immoral behaviors and lead them to accept the moral virtues in the interaction. Using Culpeper’s (2011) impoliteness framework and Confucian Moral Virtue System  (see Xu, 2011) as the main theoretical supports, this study examines the linguistic strategies of preaching and probes into the mechanism of preaching as a meta-impoliteness strategies in the mediation process, which provides a significant knowledge addition to studies of impoliteness and speech act theory.
