Abstract

This study analyses the types of politeness strategies used in the Makna Talks podcast entitled “Living Life to the Fullest” with Nicholas Saputra, based on Brown and Levinson’s (1987) theory of politeness. Using a descriptive qualitative method, the writers analyzed the transcript of the episode and identified utterances that demonstrated politeness strategies. The writers found 75 data points and categorized them into four types of politeness strategies. The results showed that positive politeness was used most frequently (45 data points), followed by the bald on record strategy (18 data points), negative politeness (9 data points), and the off record strategy (6 data points). Positive politeness demonstrated the friendliness between the host and guest. The bald on record strategy demonstrated spontaneity and provided clarity. Negative politeness arises in situations that require caution, while the off-record strategy emerges when the speaker uses indirect messages. Thus, this study emphasises the use of politeness strategies to maintain facial expressions, appropriate language use, and create good relationships so that digital conversations such as podcasts are comfortable and relaxed. Keywords: politeness strategies, Brown Levinson, Pragmatics, Makna Talks, podcast conversations

Abstract

In effective communication, the speaker tries to follow certain rules to ensure the message is understood. This study will analyze a conversation from the YouTube video Gibran di Antara Ganjar dan Prabowo – ROSI  using the cooperative principles theory by Grice (1989), as explained in Yule (1996) Pragmatics. The aim of this research is to identify how participants, especially politician Gibran, follow or violate the four Gricean Maxims such as Maxim of Quantity, Maxim of Quality, Maxim of Relation, and Maxim of Manner. This study uses the qualitative method. This approach is chosen because the focus is on analyzing and interpreting the meaning and context of the language. The data studied comes from the conversation of the YouTube video Gibran di Antara Ganjar dan Prabowo – ROSI. The findings show that Gibran sometimes gives limited or vague answers that violating the maxim of Quantity and Manner, avoids the direct relevance to sensitive questions that violating the maxim of Relation, and speaks carefully to maintain truthfulness that partly following the maxim of Quality. These patterns reveal that his communication style mixes cooperation with strategic violations, reflecting how political figures use language to manage topics and protect their image in public discussions.
