Abstract

This study investigates the deployment of impoliteness strategies in political discourse, focusing on the iNEWS YouTube video “Keras! Rocky Singgung Penjilat, Silfester Emosi hingga Keluar Kata Kasar - Rakyat Bersuara 03/09.” Employing Culpeper's (1996) Impoliteness Theory, the research aims to identify, categorize, and quantify the specific strategies used by the discussants. The quantitative analysis reveals that Negative Impoliteness is the most dominant strategy, accounting for 28.85% of all occurrences, a clear indication that speakers prioritized direct attacks on the opponent’s intellectual credibility and self-worth to increase social distance. Following this were Sarcasm or Mock Impoliteness (23.08%) and Withholding Politeness (21.15%). These findings demonstrate that impoliteness in this public forum is not merely an emotional byproduct but a calculated rhetorical strategy used to assert dominance, attack the opponent's negative face, and shape public perception. The prevalence of these strategies underscores the confrontational nature of modern political debates on digital platforms, where aggressive discourse is strategically employed to gain attention and reinforce ideological positions. The study emphasizes the critical role of impoliteness as a strategic linguistic tool in media-driven political communication. Future research should explore the perlocutionary effects of these strategies on audience reception and their contribution to political polarization in the digital age.

Abstract

Social and environmental diversity, as well as language use, can be observed not only through direct observation in society but also through works that replicate it. One such work that often portrays the realities of social life is film. “Vina Sebelum 7 Hari” is one of the films that has recently gone viral in Indonesia. This study analyzes the use of sociolect language variations in the dialogues of the film “Vina Sebelum 7 Hari.” The aim of this research is to identify and evaluate the various forms of sociolect used in the film and to understand how these language variations reflect the characters’ social status, educational level, and situational context. A qualitative method with a descriptive approach was employed in this research, using data collection techniques of non-participant observation and interactive data analysis. The findings reveal that in the dialogues of “Vina Sebelum 7 Hari,” all forms of sociolect variations are used, including acrolect, basilect, vulgar, slang, colloquial, jargon, argot, and ken. The use of these language variations not only reflects the diversity of characters and their social backgrounds but also plays an important role in creating the atmosphere and reinforcing the film’s narrative. The use of language appropriate to the context and characters helps the audience to understand the relationships among the characters and the conflicts that unfold in the film.
