Abstract

Animated movies use language not only to tell stories but also to express culture emotion and values While many studies have examined moral and cultural aspects in animation few have focused on how characters use politeness strategies to manage relationships and express emotions Previous research on Coco< em> mainly discussed family and tradition without linking them to the pragmatic function of language and Face Threatening Acts FTAs Coco< em> 2017 offers a new perspective as its dialogues show how politeness and emotional expression shape identity and harmony in family communication This study aims to identify and analyze the types of politeness strategies used in Coco< em> based on Brown and Levinson s 1987 theory and to explain their functions in maintaining relationships between the two characters Miguel and Hector The research used a qualitative descriptive method and applied content analysis to the movie s dialogues focusing on interactions between Miguel and H ctor The findings showed that positive politeness was the most dominant strategy while negative politeness appeared less frequently in moments of disagreement or emotional tension This suggests that Miguel and H ctor s interactions emphasize solidarity and emotional closeness reflecting their growing bond and mutual respect throughout the film These results indicate that the use of politeness strategies in Coco< em> reflects not only linguistic politeness but also the film s broader themes of empathy respect and family connection Coco < em>demonstrates that language in animated films functions as both a communicative and cultural tool for expressing emotion and maintaining social harmony < p>

Abstract

As a popular young adult novel, All the Bright Places frequently portrays characters who often violate Grice’s maxim violation when dealing with sensitive and emotional situations. Analyzing these maxim violations is important because it facilitates a more comprehensive understanding of the author’s intentional construction of dialogue to reveal pragmatic meanings, particularly maxim violations within the Cooperative Principle. This study aims to analyze violations of Grice’s Cooperative Principle in the novel All the Bright Places by Jennifer Niven, focusing on dialogues between Theodore Finch and Violet Markey. This study employs a descriptive qualitative method. The data are taken from dialogues between the two main characters in the novel All the Bright Places by Jennifer Niven and are collected through documentation and note-taking techniques. The data are analyzed using the Miles, Huberman, and Saldaña model, which includes data condensation, data display, and conclusion drawing/verification, based on Grice’s Cooperative Principle and interpreted using Brown and Levinson’s politeness theory.The findings show that these maxim violations are used as communication strategies to avoid discussing sensitive topics, maintain personal boundaries, and manage social interaction dynamics. Brown and Levinson’s politeness theory is applied to explain the reasons behind these violations, such as efforts to protect face and avoid emotional conflicts. These findings contribute to the development of pragmatic theory and enrich literary studies, especially on how maxim violations deepen characterization and enhance narrative complexity. This study is expected to benefit students, educators, and researchers in linguistics, pragmatics, and literature.
