Abstract

This paper investigates the choices of second person terms of address in the Malay culture. It examines the different patterns of address terms used in a range of communicative situations by interlocutors coming from diverse social backgrounds. The data for this study was obtained from two Malay dramas Ijab & Qabul (The solemnization of marriage) and Tiga Hari Menanti Mati (Three Days Until Death). These dramas were selected because they reflect in the usage of terms of address in an authentic social context of the Malay culture and represent various interpersonal relationships in a range of situations. This is a descriptive study with a qualitative approach. Forty-eight different second person terms of address were recorded and analysed in specific contexts based on the framework for classifying address terms established by Kroger, Wood and Kim (1984). The findings suggest that sociolinguistic elements such as interlocutors, contexts, determinants of interpersonal relationship, and intentions were determining factors influencing the choice of second person terms of address in the Malay culture. These findings have implications on the understanding of current trends in choosing the terms of address among Malay speakers.

Abstract

This study focuses on the impoliteness strategies used in interactions among Facebook users in Malaysia. It is also scrutinized the perception of Malaysian netizens regarding the impoliteness strategies used in social media interactions. A mix of the qualitative descriptive and quantitative methods was employed. An approach of a qualitative descriptive is to comprised social interactions in the selected Facebook pages that contained the construction of impoliteness strategies. A total of 288 comments from netizens were selected, examined, and analyzed using the Impoliteness Strategies (Culpeper, 2011). The findings showed that there are various patterns of impoliteness strategies used, such as bald on record impoliteness, sarcasm, and inappropriate address forms. Whereas a quantitative approach involved a questionnaire that intended to determine the perception of netizens regarding the use of impoliteness strategies and factors that instigate the use of these strategies in social media interactions. Respondents consisted of 100 students aged between 18 to 35 years, randomly selected from public universities in Malaysia. The analysis of the questionnaires has shown that most respondents accept negatively the use of impoliteness strategies in social media interactions. Essentially the results of the questionnaire were inconsistent with the practicalities of the interaction on Facebook, which clearly demonstrated the widely used impoliteness strategy.
