Abstract

By theory of Brown and Levinson (1987), this thesis aims to identify the politeness strategies used in the greetings between the host and the guest star in conveying their arguments for making good communication on the Good Morning Britain program. This study used descriptive qualitative method. The data was obtained from a conversation script that occurred between the host and the guest star, on the talk show on the Good Morning Britain Youtube Channel which aired on September 11, 2019. Based on the data obtained, there were 110 politeness strategies used during the talk show. The findings prove that the Positive Politeness strategy is the strategy most used by presenters and resource persons, namely 54.5%. The next politeness strategy that is also widely used is the Off Record 19.1 % strategy. Then the Negative Politeness strategy was found to be 16.4%. The least used politeness strategy, namely the Bald On Record strategy, is only found in 10% of utterances. From these results it can be said that the conversation went well, and the speakers kept their faces, this is evidenced by the use of the most widely used positive politeness strategy. This might happen because the event is an event that debates a topic that is very risky and has a very big opportunity to offend many parties, besides that the closeness between the presenter and the speaker is not so close that it creates boundaries between them. Keywords: Politeness Strategies, Talk Show
