Abstract

This study explores how politeness works in the animation movie called Encanto in theory of Geoffrey Leech’s Politeness Principle. It focuses on how the six maxims of tact, generosity, approbation, modesty, agreement, and sympathy appear in the characters’ dialogues and how they build the story and their relationships. The data collected from selected lines in the movies and were analyzed using a qualitative descriptive method. The researchers identified the dialogues that presented politeness, classified them based on Leech’s maxims, and analyzed how each maxim functions in the characters’ communications. This helps us know how polite language can reduce tension and guide emotional responses during conversations. It also shows how everyday family talk reflects values like respect, care, and modesty. The findings reveal that all six maxims appear in the film, with approval being the most frequent and sympathy the least. In more emotional scenes, the characters tend to rely on tact and generosity. The approval maxim often helps maintain relationships and encourages warmth between characters. Overall, the study suggests that politeness in Encanto supports family harmony and plays an important role in character development and conflict resolution. It also shows that pragmatic theories can be applied to fictional stories and adds to the growing research on politeness in animated films.

Abstract

Language not only communicates information but also carries out social actions. Nevertheless, speech act theory has largely overlooked the role of stylistic decisions in influencing illocutionary purposes. The current research explores the stylistic expression of illocutionary acts in the action-comedy movie Deadpool & Wolverine (2024) focuses on sarcasm, hyperbole, and irony as essential linguistic tools. Utilizing Searle’s (1975) classification of illocutionary acts alongside Leech and Short’s (2007) pragma-stylistics framework, a total of 328 utterances were identified to include illocutionary acts, and 14 utterances were chosen deliberately for comprehensive pragma-stylistic examination. The analysis was conducted in three phases: illocutionary categorization, stylistic recognition, and pragma-stylistics analysis. The findings indicate that all five types of illocutionary acts, representatives, directives, commissives, expressives, and declaratives are expressed through stylistic devices that enhance, weaken, or reshape their communicative roles. Wolverine's dialogue is stylistically understated and straightforward in its propositions, while Deadpool's speech is stylistically intricate characterized by sarcasm, exaggeration, and irony. These findings indicate that stylistic form cannot be separated from illocutionary function. The study enhances pragma-stylistics by showing that action-comedy movies provide a vibrant setting for investigating how film dialogue generates meaning through the interaction of speech acts and stylistic structure.
