Abstract

This research aims to reveal (1) the negative politeness strategies, (2) the realizations of negative politeness strategies, and (3) the factors affecting the choice of negative politeness strategies implemented by the main characters in The Duchess and The Young Victoria movies. This research adopted the negative politeness model proposed by Brown and Levinson (1987) as the main framework, interpreted qualitatively in which the researcher acts as the main instrument. The research procedure is divided into five stages, consisting of (1) observing the utterances taken from the movies' transcription; (2) identifying the characteristics of negative politeness strategies employed in those British movies according to the theory of Brown and Levinson (1987); (3) classifying and categorizing the data related to the negative politeness strategies; (4) analyzing the data in order to find the similarity and difference of those British movies; (5) drawing the conclusion of the research context to gain a new and comprehensive description related to negative politeness strategies in those British movies. The result shows that the dominant strategy implemented by Georgiana as the main character in The Duchess movie is hedging since the imposition is intense so Georgiana tries to reduce the tension. Meanwhile, being pessimistic is the dominant strategy in The Young Victoria movie since the story focuses on the early life of Victoria before the coronation. The findings also reveal that both movies have many similarities related to the dominant realization and prominent factor affecting the main characters to choose the strategies. The most widely used realization of negative politeness implemented by both characters in those British movies is avoiding to coerce the interlocutor. There is a specialization implemented by both characters in realization certain strategy. The distinction is affected by power which is based on the main characters‟ different ranks of nobility. Further, payoff is likely to be the major determinant factor of both main characters to implement particular strategies of negative politeness. It is supported by the background of those movies which set in the environment of royal life.
