Abstract

This study aims to identify the politeness strategies present in the highly popular US show, The Ellen Show, where Charlie Puth appeared as a guest star. The research utilized qualitative methods, focusing on audio-visual data from The Ellen Show's YouTube channel. The analysis focused on two aspects: the politeness strategies used by the interviewer (Ellen) and those employed by the guest star (Charlie Puth). The findings of the study indicate a significant difference in the politeness strategies used by the host and the guest star. Ellen, as the presenter, predominantly utilized "bald on-record" and "negative politeness" strategies. On the other hand, Charlie Puth tended to employ "positive politeness" and "off-record" strategies more frequently. The results highlight that the variation in politeness strategies is influenced by social variables in the conversation and the relationship dynamics between the presenter and the guest star. This research had proven that the interview pattern used by Ellen as a host is different from other talk shows. Generally, interviewers will give the role of a speaker who has lower power than a guest star. However, the research results obtained were the result of interviewers who had different characteristics because the interviewers ignored the interview rules, which aimed to make the guest stars comfortable.

Abstract

Phatic communication, a widespread yet often unnoticed language phenomenon, primarily serves to maintain social interactions rather than convey substantive information. This study investigated the use of phatic expressions among Indonesian and Australian students, examining how cultural backgrounds and social contexts influence their communication styles. Using a Discourse Completion Task (DCT) with both qualitative and quantitative methods, this research revealed significant differences between the two groups. Australian students frequently used phatic speech to initiate conversations, provided comfort, and expressed empathy, emphasizing respect and interpersonal connection. In contrast, Indonesian students tended to use phatic expressions to promote social harmony, engage in casual discourse, and offer interpersonal support, often focusing on group cohesion. Social variables, such as social status and distance, played a critical role in shaping the choice of phatic functions and forms, with both groups adapting their communication strategies based on these factors. The findings highlight the intricate relationship among culture, social dynamics, and language in phatic communication, offering a nuanced understanding that can enhance intercultural interactions, minimize misunderstandings, and improve communication effectiveness in multicultural settings. This research underscores the importance of considering cultural and social contexts when analyzing language use, contributing valuable insights for educators, linguists, and communication professionals aiming to foster more effective and harmonious interactions across diverse cultural landscapes.
