Abstrak

A good interaction requires the politeness principle to organize how to communicate the information to other. Although, politeness seems like an old customs, politeness is very important, especially in speaking and writing activities. There are some reasons why politeness is important. First, politeness is sign that we respect the other people who speak with us. Second, politeness indicates that we are a professional person. Politeness can be learned from transcript of talk show, for the example Oprah’s transcript. This research has two purposes. There are to describe positive and negative politeness that are found in Oprah’s transcript. This research design used descriptive qualitative. The data is positive and negative politeness. Meanwhile, the data source is Oprah’s transcript. I apply four steps to collect the data, such as: downloading transcript, reading transcript, searching and underline the politeness strategies, and listing the sentences which contain politeness strategies. Meanwhile, I do two steps to collect the data. They are reading the list and classifying the data into positive and negative politeness. The result of the analyzing found 31 types of positive politeness strategies. That are claim common ground (17), the host (S) conveys that all participants are cooperators (7), fulfill H’s wants (2), encouragement expression (2), and regarding the guest’s mistake (3). Meanwhile, I found 19 types of negative politeness, such as: hedging (13), give deference directly (2), expressing hesitation and unwillingness (4). Based on the analyzing above, I suggest that the student should not only know or reads about politeness strategy, but also learn deeply and practice the politeness, especially to positive politeness. Moreover, I also suggest that the teacher or lecturer should give the suggest or critic if the student don’t imply positive politeness. Therefore, the student will get the habit to use positive politeness.
