Hi.. Welcome to my blog^^
Today, I want to tell you about "POLITENESS THEORY"
<<check it out>>
POLITENESS
THEORY
by Brown and Levinson
The study of politeness strategy is basically the study of
knowing the way the people use the language while they are having interaction
or communication. It preaches how to use the language and conduct the
conversation run well and go smoothly.
In case of communication, however, everyone wants to be understood and not to be disturbed by others; moreover, he or she does not want to loose his face while communicating. Loosing face means the notions of being embarrassed, humiliated or disappointed. That is why face is something that is emotionally invested, maintained, enhanced and constantly attended in an interaction.

Loosing face means the notions of being embarrassed, humiliated or disappointed. That is why face is something that is emotionally invested, maintained, enhanced and constantly attended in an interaction.
Concept of face
Face means respect, self-esteem, self-image in the community, Brown and Levinson say that society is governed by two desires: to be free from imposition, and to be appreciated and approved of. First desire considered a negative politeness, and the latter is considered a positive politeness.
Face is the central idea of this theory:
- Negative face includes the following aspects: the basic demands of the private property and personal space, rights not to be disturbed, freedom of action and freedom from imposition.
- Positive face refers to personality as well as desires that his own self-image is accepted and respected, the value of face is different in different cultures: the definite boundary is a private space and the local culture.
Face-Threatening Act (FTA)
Meanwhile, in a conversation, the interlocutor could be a threat to someone's face and the face of his own by making a question, suggestion, criticism, reveling mistake, thanking, and so on. All of these are so-called face-threatening act (FTA). Most of the speech acts of speaker emerged potentially results FTA.
FTA could threaten the face of both positive and negative, as in point (I) and (II):
(I) Negative FTA: command, request, suggest, suggestions, remind, threaten, warn, offer, promise, express jealousy, admiration, hate, anger, passion, etc
(Ii) Positive FTA: an expression of disapproval, criticism, felt disgust, complaining, accusing, insulting, diagreeing, emotionally abusive, mentioning taboo topics, interrupting and uncooperative, etc.
Thank you^^
Don't forget comment guys!!
Hello Jessica, is there any example of Politeness theory while someone talk or on someone gestures while they act? I'll be grateful if you answer my question, Thank You^^
BalasHapusHallo ratih. Thankyou for your question. Yeaahh , i will answer your question.
HapusRatih, in politeness theory there are concept of face and face-threatening act (FTA). everything is about faces. I have already give the example in my blog. You can check it..
Hy jessica, and I think the theory of the face you are referring to is incomplete and I do not understand, so please give us an example of your theory more fully, let me understand. Thank you.
HapusWhy this theory Politeness? What's wrong with Politeness? What is the purpose of this theory? Why there is not honest theory maybe why Politeness?
BalasHapusThe Politeness theory is a theory that appeared within the framework of pragmatic approach in linguistics. According to this theory the interlocutors use particular strategies in order to achieve successful communication. These strategies enable to create maximally comfortable environment for communication.
Hapuspoliteness is understood as the ability of people to use interactive strategies depending on communicative situation. By their means the communicator is capable of making a good impression on the interlocutor and creating a positive self-image or, on the contrary, expanding his/her personal space [Holmes J. 2006].
So, politeness theory is good to communication.
hii jessica thank you for sharing about this theory !
BalasHapusHai novia. You're welcome. I hope this theory is useful in your daily life. Don't forget to come to my blog again. I will sharing information again. Thankyou and see u novia. ..
HapusAnd thanks also made me spend all night reading all of your blogs, it makes me dizzy and sick ..
HapusAnd thanks also made me spend all night reading all of your blogs, it makes me dizzy and sick ..
Hapusyour ppt is really good jessica i like it , you know how to make a good combination and make your ppt interesting and not bored .
BalasHapusHai novia. Wow.... Thankyou so much novia. do you want to learn to make ppt with me? . i hope you want^^ and i'll be wait you novia..
Hapusi have suggestion for you jessica , your written is too small i can't read with good , maybe you can add your slide and divided your written so your reader can read your ppt without have problem
BalasHapusHello novia ...
HapusThank you for your suggestion. but I have written an explanation of my theory under my ppt. maybe you can read it without having to read on ppt because the contents of the explanation are the same.
your material so interesting , you said that there a positive face and negative face , so i want to ask how we can know of each this concept of face ..
BalasHapusPositive face reflects an individual's need for his or her wishes and desires to be appreciated in a social context. This is the maintenance of a positive and consistent self-image. Negative face reflects an individual's need for freedom of action, freedom from imposition, and the right to make one's own decisions.
Hapusoh yeah if we know about the others face like negative or positive what should we do ? can you give example to make more clear explanation ?
BalasHapuspositive politeness include compliments, and might also include statements such as, "I really like the way you've done this," or, "It took me forever to figure this out, but what I eventually came to was…" or,"You know it's always important to me to do the best job I can, and I know the same is true for you. That's why I think we should pay attention to this piece a little," or, "I really like the way you approach this here. I think this other part might be a little stronger with a similar approach." In many of these cases, the speaker is bringing their own perspectives into the equation within his or her suggestions to the hearer; in this way, the speaker is emphasizing similarity and familiarity with the hearer and the content under discussion.
Hapusnegative politeness addresses the hearer's need for freedom of action and freedom from imposition in making his or her own decisions. This is also known as negative face redress. The first approach to negative politeness is to be direct by being conventionally indirect. A second approach is to not assume or presume. These strategies include questions and hedges. (A hedge is a "softening" of a statement by employing less-than-certain phrasing such as perhaps, might, can, or could.) Third, negative politeness can be employed by not coercing the hearer. This can be accomplished by being pessimistic ("I'm sure you won't want to do this…"), minimizing the imposition ("It's a small thing I need…"), or giving deference ("you know much more about this than I do…"). The speaker can also communicate his/her desire to not impinge on the hearer. This can be accomplished through apologizing strategies that include admitting the impingement ("I know this is a big deal…"), indicating reluctance ("I hate to ask this…"), giving overwhelming reasons for having to ask, or begging forgiveness. Further efforts to not impinge on the hearer include impersonalizing the speaker and hearer. This strategies include using passive and circumstantial voices ("It's generally done this way…"), replacing "I" and "you" with indefinites ("people tend to…"), pluralizing "I" and "you" ("We don't always know what we're up against…"), and avoiding use of "I" and "you" all together. Therefore, negative politeness comments might include, "some people might approach the situation in this way," or "I think I might do it differently, but of course whatever you think is best," or "I don't know a lot about this but it seems that this approach might be reasonable and the situation" or "I know you know a lot more about this than I do, but it seems to me…" In these examples, the speaker is recognizing and addressing the hearer's right to make his or her own decisions freely, thus attending to the hearer's negative face needs.
HapusHy jessica, your answer is like writing a novel, please make it brief and clarify again can you ??
Hapusoh yeah jessica i really like history , cause you know that everything have history right ? for example history how you can like someone wkwkw , can you tell about history of this theory please ?
BalasHapusHello novia. I like history too. But i dont want to tell history how i can like someone because its making hurt. I dont want remember about that:(
HapusFTA could threaten the face of both positive and negative, as in point (I) and (II):
BalasHapus(I) Negative FTA: command, request, suggest, suggestions, remind, threaten, warn, offer, promise, express jealousy, admiration, hate, anger, passion, etc
(Ii) Positive FTA: an expression of disapproval, criticism, felt disgust, complaining, accusing, insulting, diagreeing, emotionally abusive, mentioning taboo topics, interrupting and uncooperative, etc.
can you give example from this FTA negative and positive , at least each 5 !
