Abstract

This thesis discusses the positive politeness strategy found in Namjoon utterances, the leader of the Bangtan Boys when attending an interview that was hosted by a host from a medias or radio which was re-uploaded on Youtube. The purpose of this study is to find the kinds of positive politeness strategies in the Namjoon utterances and factors influencing the choice of strategies. In collecting data, the writer uses the observation method with the transcription technique. The data collection is done by the writer by downloading 12 videos with an average duration of 3 minutes and then transcribed the positive politeness strategies and the factor influencing the choice of strategies. In analyzing the data, the author uses Brown and Levinson's (1987) theory of positive politeness strategies consisting of fifteen strategies and factors that influence the selection of strategies consisting of three factors, and Yule's (1998) theory as a guide in analyzing context. The results of the analysis are presented in formal and informal forms. The results of the analysis found ten kinds of positive politeness strategies. The most common strategy is the give gifts to the hearer strategy. This shows that speakers try to make a good impression on each host when invited to an interview. Social distance is a factor that greatly influences it when using a positive politeness strategy because objects try to minimize distance because they do not have a close relationship.
