Abstract
Politeness phenomena do not only occur in daily conversations, but also in the dialogue found in a movie. Carnage is one of the interesting subjects to be analyzed in terms of positive politeness strategies. The movie tells about a cordial meeting held between two sets of parents regarding the fight of their sons. Through the meeting, both sets of parents could learn the importance meaning of politeness. Thus, the aims of this research are (1) to find the strategies of positive politeness expressed by the characters in Carnage and also (2) to identify the types of maxim violation applied by the characters in Carnage in expressing the positive politeness strategies. This research employed descriptive qualitative research. The data were in the form of utterances uttered by the characters in Carnage movie. The main instrument of the study was the researcher herself and the secondary instrument was a data sheet. The data were analyzed with the use of a referential method. Such a method analyzes the data in reference to the theory employed in this study. The researcher also triangulated the data to achieve trustworthiness of the data by checking to peers. The results of the research show two points. First, all of the fifteen strategies of positive politeness appear, except the strategy of asserting reciprocal exchange or tit for tat. In fact, the strategy of noticing, attending to H (her/his interests, wants, needs, goods, etc.) ranks the highest for the category of the mostoften appearing strategy. Second, there are three types of maxim violation appear when the characters are expressing positive politeness strategies. They are violation of quality maxim, violation of relation maxim and violation of manner maxim. The maxim of relation is mostly violated by the characters. Meanwhile, violation of quantity maxim does not appear because the characters tend to give more information than give less information. This research also shows that from 67 utterances of positive politeness strategies, only 21 utterances are violated. It means that the use of positive politeness strategies does not always influence the maxims of cooperative principles in this research object.
