<![CDATA[Linguistic politeness is an important aspect of social interaction, yet existing studies still show differing perspectives that have not been comprehensively integrated. Furthermore, variations in culture, social norms, and power relations make politeness practices difficult to understand comprehensively without systematic synthesis. This study aims to analyze previous research on linguistic politeness across various communication contexts. This is a qualitative study with a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) design. The research subjects were twelve selected scientific articles that met the inclusion criteria as study subjects, without direct trial subjects. The data collection method used documentation techniques with a systematically designed data extraction sheet instrument. Data analysis was carried out through the stages of identification, screening, feasibility assessment, and thematic synthesis. The results of the study indicate that linguistic politeness is contextual and influenced by cultural values, social norms, social distance, and power dynamics between speakers, with variations in politeness and impoliteness strategies emerging across the interpersonal, institutional, and digital realms. The conclusion of this study confirms that linguistic politeness is an adaptive social practice and is not universal. The implications of this research include strengthening the theoretical framework of pragmatics, developing contextual language learning, and increasing the effectiveness of cross-cultural and professional communication in the digital era.]]>
