POSITIVE POLITENESS STRATEGIES USED IN THE MOVIE “UP (2009)”
Abstract
Abstract. Politeness is a person's ethical behavior or speech expression. Politeness is the most important aspect in establishing communication. In language, humans or speakers need to pay attention to language politeness when communicating. With language politeness, a person will be more comfortable in communicating and have more morals for one person and another. In establishing communication in order to create language politeness, of course, it is the same as implementing strategies to achieve good communication. This study aims to determine the positive politeness strategies of utterances contained in the film "Up (2009)". A descriptive-qualitative approach was used in this study. Based on the findings and discussion, the authors have found 9 data on positive politeness speech in the film "Up (2009)" and there are 5 strategies that have been used, including Strategy 2: Exaggerating (interest, approval, sympathy with H), Strategy 5: Looking for agreement, Strategy 10: Offer/Promise, Strategy 12: Include S and H in the activity, Strategy 15: Give gifts to H (goods, sympathy, understanding, cooperation). Strategy 2 is the most widely used strategy to analyze utterances in positive politeness.Keywords: communication, positive politeness strategies, up (2009) movieReferences
