ABSTRACT

Ranti Andela. Impoliteness Strategy Towards Entertainer’s Life in MailOnline’s Comment Section. Thesis: English Literature Department. Faculty of Adab and Humanities, Universitas Islam Negeri Syarif Hidayatullah Jakarta, 2019. This research discusses the impoliteness strategies that occur in MailOnline’s entertainment news comment section by using the theory of impoliteness by Jonathan Culpeper. This research uses a qualitative method with a pragmatics approach. It aims to describe the types and functions of impoliteness strategies that occur in 10 MailOnline’s entertainment news comment section. It uses 50 utterances to analyze that taken from 10 articles in MailOnline’s entertainment news comment section which published from March 2019 until April 2019. Research findings show that, first, only 4 types of impoliteness strategies occur, those are: bald on record impoliteness, positive impoliteness, negative impoliteness, and sarcasm or mock politeness. Second, each type of impoliteness strategy does not always appear in every article’s comment section. Third, the frequently used strategy to attack someone’s face through online media is bald on record impoliteness. Fourth, most people are used impoliteness strategy to deliver their heightened emotion, thus affective function appears as the dominant function in this research. Last, according to the topic that chooses randomly, whether the article is talking about controversial entertainer or not, there will always be a negative comment towards the entertainer. As a conclusion, people who use online media are more likely spreading hatred or anger straightforwardly since there is no face- to-face interaction and they can hide their real identity by using a fake account. Moreover, no matter how good the reputation of the entertainer is, there are always be negative comments towards them.

Keywords: Pragmatics, Impoliteness Strategy, Impoliteness Function, MailOnline.

CHAPTER I INTRODUCTION

A. Background of the Study As a social creature, people cannot be separated from language (Chaer 53). People need language to communicate their thought, feelings, or emotion. Language could be delivered through face to face interaction or other media such as telephone, letter, text message, email, online chat or comment on social media. In interaction, people not only found a polite utterance but also could found an impoliteness utterance. In line with that, Locher argues that there is an enormous imbalance that exists between academic interests in politeness phenomena as opposed to impoliteness phenomena. Kunjana also added that the study about impoliteness is still rarely conducted rather than the study of politeness. Meanwhile, according to Culpeper (6), impoliteness and conflictive interaction, far from being anomalous behavior, are commonplace in a variety of different discourses. Here, impoliteness actually could be found in daily life both in face to face interaction or other media. Therefore this research aims to analyze the impolite utterances in MailOnline’s entertainment news comment section. At first, impoliteness considered as not worthy to study since researchers such as Leech and B&L (Brown and Levinson) only focused on politeness study rather than impoliteness (Culpeper 6). Later Culpeper argued that statement by developing the research about impoliteness (6). He conducted the theory of impoliteness strategy through his first article entitled “Towards an Anatomy of Impoliteness” (1996). The theory cannot be separated from the notion of face by Goffman (1967). Thus face refers to “reputation” and “good name” (Thomas 168). Face also defined as public self-image which can be lost, maintained, or enhanced in an interaction (Brown and Levinson 61). Typically, in an interaction people cooperate or support each other to protect each other face and keep the harmony in communication by using the politeness strategy. For instance: Hey, buddy, I’d appreciate it if you’d let me use your pen (Yule 64). Asking someone to lend a thing by using a polite utterance as the previous example will maintain the interlocutor’s face and minimizing the social conflict.

However, the face could be lost or damage too by using the face-threatening acts (FTAs). A contrast from the politeness strategy, Culpeper defined impoliteness strategies as, communicative strategies designed to attack face, and thereby cause social conflict and disharmony (349). Mills (267) gives an example, e.g. when a man (who had a big belly) is trying to park his car next to a pedestrian crossing and a woman was trying to cross the road. They argued about who had right of way: Woman: Oh, shut up, you fat pig! Man: Go fuck yourself. Woman: Go on a diet! Man: Go fuck yourself! From the example above, the taboo word fuck is damaging the interlocutor's face, therefore it is considered as an impoliteness strategy. Thus strategy divided into five types: bald on record impoliteness, positive impoliteness, negative impoliteness, sarcasm or mock politeness, and withhold politeness (Culpeper 356- 357). Related to that, people can communicate by using the internet and it allows them to communicate without restricted by time and place. This is called as computer-mediated communication or CMC. Computer-mediated communication is a way to communicate through the internet with a computer, mobile phones, and other high-tech devices (Locher 1). People use any kind of online media to interact with others, participate in an online discussion, or to express their feeling and attitude toward some events (Zhong 35). Since the language used for communication via the internet, it also can be examined about how people use language to communicate through online media. In this case, MailOnline’s entertainment news comment section used for the data to analyze. MailOnline is an online newspaper of the DailyMail, a newspaper in the United Kingdom (http://dailymail.co.uk). It is one of the most visited English- language online newspaper in the world. This online newspaper contains various topics such as sport, entertainment news, world news, sci-tech, health, economic, property, and travel. It also provides the comment section in which people used to comment on it as the respond of the article’s content. People are allowed to post a comment as long as they have already registered as a user. Moreover, it allows

3

people to share, reply, like or even dislike the comment made by others. In this way, the comment section in MailOnline is one place where linguistic exchanges occur. It cannot be denied that entertainer's life becomes a spotlight and an interesting topic to discuss. Starting from their glamorous lifestyle, their achievements, clothes that they wore until their private life. Take a look at the Kardashian family, for instance. Kylie Jenner which expecting at a young age, plastic surgery that she did to her face and body until Bruce Jenner who decided to become a transgender and many more. That lifestyle becomes a spotlight by the media and it also triggered pros and contra among people. It is proven by many users of online news magazine such as MailOnline which used impolite comments intentionally to damage the targeted entertainer’s public-self-image. Moreover, since it is not a face to face communication, the chance to say everything that people intended to say is bigger rather than face to face communication. As Culpeper stated (19) if the speaker communicates face-attack intentionally, it considered as impoliteness. Related to this research, it could be analyzed its impoliteness strategy in MailOnline’s entertainment news comment section since people are intentionally damaging the other person’s public-self-image. However, this research only focuses on the types and functions of impoliteness strategies used by people in MailOnline’s entertainment news comment section. It is also interesting to study because there is a mass of impolite utterances found in MailOnline’s entertainment news comment section. Lastly, this research is important to study considered that the research of impoliteness strategy is still rarely conducted in linguistics rather than politeness. Moreover, in this department, the study of impoliteness usually using a corpus such as a film and debate. Hence, it is expected to influence the next researcher to conduct the research by using other kinds of data such as data from online media. Since the data which is analyzed is an impolite utterance from the MailOnline’s entertainment news comment section, therefore this research is considered as a discourse analysis with pragmatics approach. Both discourse analysis and pragmatics focus on the meaning of words in interaction and how each person in an interaction communicates more information than the words they use (Cutting 2).

B. The Focus of the Research This research focused on the types and functions of the impoliteness strategies that occur in the MailOnline’s entertainment news comment section. The utterances which contain the impoliteness strategies were observed using Jonathan Culpeper’s impoliteness theory.

C. Research Questions Based on the background and the focus of the study above, the question of this research concerning the utterances which contain impoliteness strategies in MailOnline’s entertainment news comment section formulated as follows: How are the types and functions of impoliteness strategies occur in MailOnline’s entertainment news comment section?

D. The Objective of the Research The purpose of this research based on the research question above formulated as follows: To describe the types and functions of impoliteness strategies occur in MailOnline’s entertainment news comment section.

E. Significance of the Research This research about impoliteness in MailOnline’s entertainment news comment section is expected to give benefits both theoretically and practically. Theoretically, this research expected to enrich and intensify the reader's knowledge about impoliteness and also enrich the previous research in the impoliteness field. Practically, this research is expected to: (1) Become a reference for the next researcher who wants to conduct the same topic about impoliteness; (2) Encourage the next researcher specifically in this department to establish the research about impoliteness since the topic about impoliteness is still rarely studied; and (3) Become a reminder for internet users to use the online media wisely, considering that there are many internet users who easily using an impolite utterance in online media towards stranger.

F. Research Methodology

1. Research Method This research used a qualitative method. Qualitative research involves description and analysis rather than, for instance, the counting features (Wray and Bloomer 97), in other words, this research is not designed using statistical procedures (Subroto 5). The data in qualitative research is descriptive such as words, sentences, utterances, images, photos, and memos (Subroto 7). In this case, the utterances used as the data. Qualitative research is also descriptive because the data is described as it is (Nawawi and Hadari 67).

2. Research Instrument The instrument of the research is a data card. Data cards are pieces of paper with equal size depend on the research need (Nawawi and Hadari 172). In this case, the citation card and summary card used as the instrument of the research. Those data cards are used to note the data that had been found or any information relevant to the research.

3. The technique of Data Collection and Data Analysis This research used a document technique to gather the data. According to Subroto (42), document technique means using the written sources to gather the data. Lincoln and Guba (277) also added that the term “document” refers to any written material such as letters, diaries, speeches, newspaper editorials, case studies, television scripts, photographs, medical histories, epitaphs, and suicide notes. Meanwhile, the data of this research gathered through a few steps as follow: (1) Read ten chosen articles about entertainment news which was taken from http://dailymail.co.uk (in this case, only ten articles which less than 250 comments that are used for the analysis); (2) Read each chosen article comment section; (3) Find the utterances that might contain impoliteness strategy; (4) Writing down those utterances in the data card; (5) Processing the data by using simple random sampling technique. However, to limit the research, only 50 data are used as a sample. The random sampling technique is repeated ten times to get five impolite utterances from each article. According to Wasito (54), a step for collecting the sample is running as

6

follow: (1) each datum is listed and given a code; (2) each code of the datum are written in the paper with equal size; (3) rolled up the papers and put it into the box; (4) shake the box and collect the sample as much as it needed. Furthermore, each code collected from simple random sampling is listed and the datum is used as a corpus for analyzing its impoliteness. After the data gathered, the next step is data analysis. The steps run as follows: (1) Classifying the data according to the type of impoliteness; (2) Use impoliteness theory of Jonathan Culpeper’s to describe the type of impoliteness strategy; (3) Describe the function of its impoliteness; (4) Make a conclusion.

4. Unit Analysis The unit analysis of this research is 50 utterances taken from ten articles in MailOnline’s entertainment news comment section which published from March 2019 until April 2019. From the total 50 utterances, five utterances are taken from each article. The articles have a various topics, such as about and Zayn Malik break up rumors, the Avenger cast appearance in premiere movie, Adele’s divorce announcement, Kyle and Travis impolite behaviour at Sunday Service, Kristen Steward and her girlfriend appearance, Taylor Lautner celebrate her sister engagement, Kyle and Kim business collaboration, Ed Sheeran’s bullied experience, LV Fashion Show, and Emma Stone sold her house.

CHAPTER II THEORETICAL FRAMEWORK

This chapter divided into two parts, which are the previous research and theories. Previous research section consists of five previous research related to the study of impoliteness. The theories section explains the concept of discourse analysis, pragmatics, face, the notion of impoliteness, impoliteness strategies and the function of impoliteness strategies.

A. Previous Research Several related kinds of research concerning the study of impoliteness have been done before. Each research has its main issue and used a different perspective to discuss it. This chapter shows some of the research related to the study of impoliteness. The first research is an article titled Linguistic Impoliteness Strategies in Sina Weibo Comments by Wenjun Zhong (2018). The purpose of this research is to explore types of impoliteness strategies used by Chinese in a computer-mediated communication context Sina Weibo. It used the comments under the Weibo feed in Fan Bingbing studio’s account as the data and the data were analyzed by Jonathan Culpeper’s impoliteness theory. The result of the research shows that four strategies are employed in Sina Weibo context which is bald on record impoliteness, positive impoliteness, negative impoliteness, and sarcasm or mock impoliteness. Among the strategies employed, the most frequent strategy is positive impoliteness while the least frequent type is sarcasm or mock impoliteness strategy. Withhold politeness strategy does not exist in the data. The research also shows that among the output strategies of positive impoliteness strategy, "call the other names" is the favorite output strategy while, "condescend, scorn or ridicule" is the most frequent of negative impoliteness output strategy used by Weibo users. The second related research is “YOU’RE ORANGE, YOU MORON!” The use of impoliteness strategies in the American TV-Series House M.D. written by Melina Laitinen (2010). The purpose of the research was to find out what impoliteness strategies performed by Dr. House in American American TV- series House M.D.

and how the patient reacts to the impoliteness strategy performed by Dr. House. This research used nine short conversations between Dr. House and his clinic patients taken from the six-episode from the first season of House M.D (2005). The research used the theory of impoliteness by Jonathan Culpeper to analyze the data. The result of the research shows that bald on record strategies and sarcasm are the most frequent impoliteness strategies that Dr. House used in the series. It also shows that most of the patients completely ignore House's impolite utterances. The third research entitled Impoliteness Strategies and Power Performed by President Donald Trump on Twitter was written by Dony Cahyono (2018). The research aims to find out how are the impoliteness strategies performed by President Donald Trump in his tweets and also to explain how the impoliteness performed in President Donald Trump tweets is related to power. The researcher used President Donald Trump's tweets about international politics collected from January 21, 2017 to March 20, 2018. There were 20 data in the form of tweets which contained 55 impolite remarks posted on his tweets to attack other countries. Further, Culpeper's impoliteness strategies (1996) were used to analyze the data. The result of the study showed that only four strategies of impoliteness which occur in the data (positive impoliteness, negative impoliteness, bald on record and sarcasm or mock impoliteness). The result also showed that people with more power tend to be impolite to those with less power, and with the development of social media, power has been shifted into a bigger scale of international politics. The result confirms that Donald Trump used his power as a president to deliberately attack some countries which seemed to disturb him and his country. In other word, it could be inferred that impoliteness is likely to occur in situations where the speaker has more power. Next research entitled Impoliteness and Gender in Computer-Mediated Communication: A Study of Insults on Tumblr conducted by Sara Tahire Hairetdin (2018). This study examines the characteristics of impolite language on Tumblr. It also discusses the most frequently used impoliteness strategies by men and women and the gender differences in their use. Moreover, it considers whether the topic of conversation affects the impoliteness strategies which performed or not. The data were collected from mixed-gender interactions on Tumblr on the five topics of feminism, politics, racism, religion and social justice. The data consist of 404

10

separate utterances that were collected from 304 individual speakers and marked for gender and topic as well as categorized under specific impoliteness strategies. The results show that while there are differences between the genders in the use of impoliteness, this has little to do with who is more impolite as both men and women have strategies that they tend to use more often. The most visible differences in impoliteness between men and women emerge from the use of specific words or abbreviations, for instance. The topic of discussion does have some effect on the type of insults used. Last, the article entitled Impoliteness Strategies in English and Arabic Facebook Comments by Najla Majeed Hammod (2017). The purpose of the research are to describe the types of impoliteness strategies used by facebookers in online contexts and to find out what factors may affect the use of the strategies. The data were taken from six chosen Facebook pages: three pages in English and three pages in the Arabic Language. It used the theory of impoliteness by Culpeper to analyze the data. The result showed that there are four strategies found in the Facebook pages which are bald on record impoliteness, positive impoliteness, and sarcasm or mock impoliteness. Positive and negative impoliteness are the most frequent types, whereas, withhold politeness does not exist in online contexts. The finding also shows great similarity between English and Arabic data in the most used strategies, but the topics that cause the use of impoliteness were different. Referring to the previous researches above, this research used the same theory from Jonathan Culpeper about impoliteness strategies to analyze the data. However, this research also has differences with the mentioned research above in terms of the issue that will be analyzed. Different from the other previous research above, the purpose of this research is to describe how the types and functions of impoliteness strategies occur in MailOnline’s entertainment news comment section.

B. Theory This part explained the theory that use to analyze the data. It consists not only the main theory to analyze the data such as the theory of impoliteness strategy and impoliteness function but also other theories that support the analysis such as discourse analysis, pragmatics, context, and face.

11

1. Discourse Analysis and Pragmatics Shriffin (39) defined the notion of discourse as utterances. Discourse is used for communication: people use utterances to convey information and to lead each other towards an interpretation of meanings and intentions. The field which studied discourse is discourse analysis. Discourse analysis itself can be concluded as a study about language's relation to the contextual background features (Cutting 1). In line with that, according to Mey (39), context is a surrounding, in the widest sense, that enable the participants in the communication process to interact, and that makes the linguistic expression of their interaction intelligible. There are three kinds of context, those are the situational context, the background knowledge context and the co-textual context (Cutting 3). The situational context is the situation where the interaction is taking place at the moment of the language used (4), or it could mean the physical environment in which a word is used (Yule 128). The background knowledge context is the shared knowledge that most people carry in their minds or private knowledge about the history of a speaker themselves (5). The co-textual context or known as co-text is the context of the text itself – in a conversation, for example, each person in interaction can refer the use of personal pronouns which uttered by the speaker (8). However, there are six different approaches of discourse analysis (Shriffin 4), those are speech act theory, interactional sociolinguistics, ethnography of communications, pragmatics, conversation analysis, and variation analysis. Among those approaches, pragmatics approach is used for this research. Pragmatics approach itself deals with three concepts which are meaning, context, and communication (Shriffin 190). Moreover, discourse and pragmatics are related to each other. Both discourse analysis and pragmatics study the meaning of words in context. Cook (1) argued that both discourse analysis and pragmatics look at discourse, or the use of language, and text or pieces of spoken or written discourse concentrating on how stretches of language become meaningful and unified for their users. Related to this research, the data which used to analyze is an impolite utterance from the comment section in MailOnline, therefore this research is considered as a discourse analysis with pragmatics approach.

12

2. Face The meaning of face itself cannot be taken literally. Culpeper (24) stated that in English, the term face is commonly used in the idiom ‘losing face’, meaning that one’s public image suffers some damage, often resulting in emotional reactions, such as embarrassment (Culpeper 24). Similarly, Indonesian people often say “Mukaku mau ditaruh mana; dia kehilangan muka” (Fauziati 13) to refer the term of a face which later will be explained in this section. To begin with, the term face was introduced by Erving Goffman in 1960s. Goffman (5) defined the notion of a face as positive social value a person effectively claims for himself by the line others assume he has taken during a particular contact. Face also associated with personal, relational, or social value, and is concerned with people’s sense of worth, dignity, honor, reputation, competence and so on (Spencer-Oatey 14). Later, the well-known figures in the field of pragmatics, Brown and Levinson derived the concept of face in their politeness theory. According to Brown and Levinson (61), face is a public self-image that every member wants to claim for himself. In short, the term of face can be known as a reputation, prestige, or a good name which everyone has. Brown and Levinson (61) elaborate on two types of face, those are negative face and positive face. Negative face refers to the want of every person to be freedom of action and freedom from imposition; not to be warned, ordered by other people. The positive face is the want of every person to be appreciated and approved by others; to be liked, loved, and respected by the other. Thus face also can be lost, maintained, or enhanced (Brown and Levinson 61). The act utilized for threatening that self-image called face-threatening acts (FTAs) (Brown and Levinson 65). The acts that threaten negative face are: expressions of orders, request, suggestions, advice, reminding threats, warnings, dares, offers, promises, compliments and expression of hatred and anger (Brown and Levinson 66). While the acts that threaten positive face are: expression of disapproval, criticism, contempt or ridicule, complaints, accusations, insult, disagreement, challenges, dangerously emotional or divisive topics, expression of irreverence, and mention taboo topics (Brown and Levinson 66).

13

Besides that, there is certain strategy to minimize the FTAs or maintain the face – politeness strategies which developed by Brown and Levinson (1987). Brown and Levinson formulated the strategies into 1) Bald on record; 2) Positive politeness; 3) Negative Politeness; 4) Off-record; 5) Withhold the FTA (Culpeper 356). By contrast, impoliteness strategies emerge as the opposite strategies, it is a strategy to attacking face (Culpeper 356). To sum up, face cannot be distinguished from the study of politeness and impoliteness. Both of them are opposite in terms of orientation to face (Culpeper 356). While the politeness strategy functions to maintain the harmony in interaction by maintaining or supporting face, the impoliteness strategy on the contrary designed to attack face which causes social conflict and disharmony (Culpeper 355).

3. The Notion of Impoliteness The study about impoliteness in language has not gained much attention as politeness. Scholars such as Brown and Levinson and Leech who developed the theory of politeness only focused on harmonious interactions, and ignored the concept of impoliteness. They tend to give an impression that impoliteness is anomalous behavior or not worthy of consideration (Culpeper 6). On the other hand, Culpeper argued that impoliteness is far from being anomalous behavior, moreover, it could occur in a different situation in everyday activities. Later, he conducted the theory of impoliteness through his article entitled "Towards an Anatomy of Impoliteness" (1996). Jonathan Culpeper was the first scholar who conducted the theory of impoliteness. He defined impoliteness as communicative strategies designed to attack face, and thereby cause social conflict and disharmony (1546). Since the study of impoliteness is increased, there are many definitions related to the notion of impoliteness. One of the definition comes from Locher and Bousfield (3), they stated that impoliteness is behavior that is face-aggravating in a particular context. Impoliteness happens when: (1) the speaker communicates face-attack intentionally, or (2) the hearer perceives and/or constructs behavior as intentionally face-attacking or a combination of (1) and (2) (Culpeper 38). In line with those statements, it is necessary to highlight the word ‘intentionally' as the key to the

14

impoliteness. Thus, every utterance which intentionally attacks the other self-image could be considered as an impoliteness. Furthermore, in Culpeper's recent work, he points out that impoliteness is a negative attitude towards specific behaviors occurring in specific contexts (23). In short, impoliteness is a contrast strategy to politeness. While politeness purpose to support each other face, here impoliteness works to create a conflict or disharmony in interaction by intentionally attacking people’s self-image.

4. Impoliteness Strategies Through "Towards an Anatomy of Impoliteness", Culpeper builds up an impoliteness strategy that encompasses five strategies of impoliteness as well as its sub-strategies. Below are the impoliteness strategies: a) Bald on record impoliteness Bald on record impoliteness is a strategy which the face-threatening acts (FTA) – a threat to someone's face is performed in a direct, clear, and unambiguously delivered by the speaker to attack the addressee's face. The intention of face-attacking by the speaker to the addressee is done in a straightway (Culpeper 356). For instance: Kyra: Hi Andrea! Look! What do you think about my make up? Andrea: Your make up looks terrible. b) Positive impoliteness This strategy designed to damage the addressee's positive face wants; the desire to be liked, or respected by the other. Simply, the speaker dislikes the addressee (Culpeper 356). This can be done by following ways: a. Ignore, snub the other – fail to acknowledge the other's presence (Culpeper 357). For instance: there is a son who wants to ask for apologies but instead of giving apologize, her mother interrupts and ignore what he is about to say. Son: I just want to say that I am very sorr – Mother: No, thank you. b. Exclude the other from an activity – here the speaker attack the addresse’s face by exclude him or her from an activity (Culpeper 357). For instance: there is a study group, contains four people (Kathrine, Jenny, Leia, and Amirah). Kathrine

15

thinks that Amirah is not capable to join the discussion. The utterance below shows that Kathrine excluding Amirah in joining the discussion. Kathrine: Listen. Guys we need to finish this task as soon as possible. Any suggestion to divide our jobdesk? Amirah: I think we should divide the jobdesk based on each member ability. Kathrine: You don’t need to join the discussion, Amirah. c. Disassociate from the other – the speaker deny association or common ground with the other; avoid sitting together (Culpeper 357). For instance: Alex, an artist, involved in a scandal. His fans, Andrea, she disappoint to hear the rumors about Alex’s scandal. Alex: Andrea, I know you’ll believe me more than the rumors that spreading out. Andrea: I am no longer your fan, now I am your hater. d. Be disinterested, unconcerned, unsympathetic – for instance: Jessie’s mother: Jessie, sorry I called you this early morning. Your dad is hospitalized this morning. Jessie: I don't care about him and everything that you said to me. e. Use inappropriate identity markers – using title and surname when having a close relation, or use a nickname when speaker and addressee have a distant relationship (Culpeper 357). For instance: Clara and Richard is a best friend. One day, they are fighting. Richard: No, it wasn’t my fault. It’s yours! Clara: You always did this to me, Richard Smith. f. Use obscure or secretive language – use a code known to others in the group, but not the target (Culpeper 357). For instance: Jane, Jonathan, Andrea, Clara, and Tyna are joining the addition class for the literature subject. Without Tyna’s recognition, her friends usually named her as "Rosie" because her face can turn as red as a red rose if she panics. One day, the teacher asks Tyna and Clara to answer the question in front of the class. Tyna looks panic. While the teacher asked both of them, one of her friend shout: Tyna: So, I’ll explain the plot....(hesitate to say the answer) Jonathan: You don’t have to panic, Rosie.

16

g. Seek disagreement – the speaker select to discuss a sensitive topic. For instance: Ramadhan is joining the discussion which topics is about culture. Ramadhan: Hello everyone, let me introduce myself in this discussion. I am Ramadhan and you can call me Rama. I came from Indonesia. I am a Muslim. Jacob: That’s a good introduction, but I wanna ask you something more important. What makes you so sure that your religion is right? h. Make the other feel uncomfortable - use small talk (Culpeper 358). For instance. Karina’s father does not allow her to attend her friend’s 17th birthday party. Instead of allowing his daughter to the party, He suggest Karina to stay at home. Karina’s father: I cannot allow you to go to the party tonight. What’s the point in joining the party, it’s more pleasing to stay at our home. Karina: Of course dad, It would be pleased if you provide a luxurious stuff in our house such as home theatre, Apple TV, Macbook, and Playstation 4. i. Use taboo words - swear, or use abusive or profane language (Culpeper 358). The speaker swearing or using a profane language such as: fuck, shit, damn, bitch, asshole, hell, pussy, mother fucker and so forth. For instance: Amber and Jasmine are in the same event, their friend’s birthday party. Jasmine wears a short dress and walk across the crowd. Amber: Fucking slutty! Jasmine: Just mind your own business. j. Call the other names - use derogatory nominations (Culpeper 358). For instance: Bob: You’re ugly, you moron. Christian: Can you just saying another good words to others? c) Negative impoliteness It designed to damage the addressee’s negative face wants. Simply, the speaker warns or orders the addressee. To lose the negative face wants of the addressee, the strategy can be done by following ways: a. Frighten - The speaker instill a belief that something worst will occur to the addressee (Culpeper 358). For instance: Tom finds out that Ben using his laptop without permission. Tom warns Ben by frightening him.

17

Ben: Tom, I really need that laptop at that time so I just used it and planning to tell you later. Tom: Seriously, if you dare to use my laptop again without permission, I’ll kill you. b. Condescend, scorn or ridicule - the speaker emphasizes his or her power; be contemptuous; do not treat the other seriously. Belittle the other (e.g. use diminutives) (Culpeper 358). For instance: Adam: I believe I could take care of my son even though we’re divorced. Shakira: You could take care of your son? Nonsense! c. Invade the other’s space - the speaker positions himself or herself close to the addressee more than the relationship permit, or the speaker asks for or speaks about information which is too intimate (Culpeper 358). Makena (20) are going to engage with his boyfriend, Jacob. Makena is in the printing house in order to print her engagement invitation card. She meet a stranger and having a conversation. Stranger: Are these your engagement invitation card? Makena: Yes, of course. I am going to throw an engagement party on Tuesday. Stranger: 20 is very young to be engaged. You barely know yourself, never mind what you want in a life partner. d. Explicitly associate the other with a negative aspect – the speaker personalize the addressee, use the pronouns 'I' and 'you' (Culpeper 358). For instance: Deny: I just can’t stand to accompany our father when he still hospitalized. He’s too arrogant. Deny’s brother: You should treat your parents in a good way, shouldn't you be a good son? e. Put the other’s indebtedness on record – the speaker makes the addresse feels have to do something for him or her (Culpeper 358). for instance: Akbar: I just bought a new parfume, Its smells so good. Don’t you think the same? Barry: Do me a favor, don’t use that perfume again.

18

d) Sarcasm or mock politeness This strategy seems to be polite but insincere or cause an offence (Culpeper 356). For instance: Anne and Nancy are not close to each other since high school. Unexpectedly, they accepted in the same university and have to live in the same dorm. Nancy: Tomorrow, I’ll be living here too Anne: Oh, what a good news. e) Withhold politeness Withhold politeness is a strategy where the politeness is expected and needed, but the speaker does not do it. For instance, Jessie is throwing a birthday party. Her not-so- close-friend, Mia come to the party and handed the present for Jessie: Mia: Here I give you some stuff inside it (handed a box) Jessie: (Silent) (accepting the gift) Mia: I hope you like it! Jessie: (Silent) (Walk away to the other guests)

5. The Function of Impoliteness Strategy According to Culpeper in his book Using Language to Cause Offence, there are three functions of impoliteness strategy (221), those are: a) Affective Impoliteness Culpeper (252) stated that Affective impoliteness may involve the unrestrained expression of emotion in contexts where it is not normal or it is prohibited. Affective impoliteness is the targeted display of heightened emotion, typically anger, with the implication that the target is to blame for producing that negative emotional state (Culpeper 223). Below the example of affective impoliteness: Alec Baldwin was disappointed with Ireland, his 11-year-old daughter with Kim Basinger, from whom he had now split. They live separately, and every time Baldwin calls her, he did not get any responses. He conveys his disappointment through an answerphone message. You have insulted me for the last time. You have insulted me, you don’t even have the brains or the decency as a human being. By repeating the words you have insulted me, it means Baldwin disappoint about what his daughter did to him (did not answer the phone, every time he reaches

19

her). This kind of impoliteness has an affective function. Simply, this function can be interpreted as a function to convey anger towards someone's behavior or action which makes the speaker angry or disappointed. b) Coercive Impoliteness Coercive impoliteness is impoliteness that seeks a realignment of values between the speaker and the addressee (Culpeper 225). Culpeper also argues that coercive impoliteness is more likely to do occur in situations where there is an imbalance of power in which the speaker with higher status has more freedom to be impolite (Culpeper 277). However, it can also be used in equal power between the speaker and the addressee. The example below taken from Culpeper (230), it showed the conversation between Carr (the police) and Hadis (the taxi driver). Carr stopped Hadis because the wheels of his taxi touched the white lines of a pedestrian crossing. Take a look at the example below: Carr: This your cab? Hadis: Yes, sir. Carr: It says here it’s expired. What else you got? Hadis: My insurance is expired? I didn’t get change, but I think I left it at my house. Carr: You didn’t get it, or you left it at home? Hadis: I got it . . . Carr: Which lie are you telling me? Hadis: I’m not lying, sir, I’m just . . . Carr: Yes you are. Ran red light, no insurance and not wearing a seat belt. Sign right there. Court date’s on the top. Hadis: I did not pass the red light. I was holding the brake. Carr: Let me tell you something, (expletive). You cross that white line out there, that’s running the red light. You want to argue with me or you want to go to jail? Hadis: No. The highlighted words above showed the function of impoliteness is coercive. Here, the police seem more impolite because he uses his power (as police) to do the coercion. In other words, coercive impoliteness can be interpreted as the function

20

used by the speaker (more likely who have more power) to do the coercion to reach the agreement. c) Entertaining Impoliteness The speakers who use impoliteness obviously have a target or victim to perform their impoliteness. In this function, the utterance said by speaker can be considered as impolite not only because the target is aware that he or she become a target of impoliteness but the important thing is the other person aside from the target can understand the effect of impoliteness (Culpeper 234). Impoliteness can entertain the other if it could emerge the pleasure. People can found the pleasure while: 1) observing the impoliteness emerge a state of arousal which can be pleasurable; 2) the speaker uses creative words in an utterance; 3) feeling superior when seeing someone in a worse state than oneself (Culpeper 234). Simply, the other person can be entertained by the use of impoliteness which performed towards the target if it can gives a pleasure, no matter if the target is aware of the impoliteness or not. Culpeper (236) gives an example of the entertain function as the following complain letter (by the customer of NTL company): Dear Cretins, My initial installation was cancelled without warning, resulting in my spending an entire Saturday sitting on my fat arse waiting for your technician to arrive. When he did not arrive, I spent a further 57 minutes listening to your infuriating hold music, and the even more annoying Scottish robot woman telling me to look at your helpful website. . . . HOW? I alleviated the boredom by playing with my testicles for a few minutes – an activity at which you are no-doubt both familiar and highly adept. The rescheduled installation then took place some two weeks later, although the technician did forget to bring a number of vital tools – such as a drill-bit, and his cerebrum. Two weeks later, my cable modem had still not arrived. This example can function for entertaining because it can make the person who sees this impolite letter is entertained and feeling pleasurable. The sender also creatively playing with the chosen words to deliver his message such as the highlighted words above.

CHAPTER IV CONCLUSION AND SUGGESTION

This chapter divided into two parts, those are conclusion and suggestion. In conclusion, it provides the conclusion of the data findings in chapter three meanwhile in the suggestion part, it provides a suggestion for the reader especially the next researcher who wants to conduct the same topic of the research.

A. Conclusion This research discusses the impoliteness strategies that occur in MailOnline’s entertainment news comment section. This research uses a qualitative method with pragmatics approach. This research aims to describe the types and functions of impoliteness strategies that occur in MailOnline’s entertainment news comment section. To analyze the data, it uses the theory of impoliteness strategy (1996) and the theory of impoliteness function (2011) from Jonathan Culpeper. It uses 50 utterances that taken from ten articles in MailOnline’s entertainment news comment section which published from March 2019 until April 2019. From the total 50 utterances, 5 utterances are taken from each article. After analyzing the data, the result shows that, first, only 4 types of impoliteness strategy appear in this research (bald on record impoliteness, positive impoliteness, negative impoliteness, and sarcasm or mock politeness). While there is no instance of withhold politeness since withhold politeness strategy only occurs in face-to-face interaction. Second, each type of impoliteness is not always appeared in every article’s comment section. Here, only negative impoliteness that use by people in 10 articles’ comment section. Third, the frequently used strategy to attack someone’s face through online media is bald on record impoliteness. Considering that people are not communicating by face-to-face interaction, therefore, it easier for people to say everything that they want to say and they also can hide their real identity by using a fake account.

57

58

Fourth, most people are used impoliteness strategy to deliver their heightened emotion: typically anger. Therefore affective function appears as the dominant function in this research. Last, according to the topic that chooses randomly, whether the article is talking about controversial entertainer or not, there will always be a negative comment towards the entertainer. To sum up, people who use an online media are more likely spreading hatred or anger straightforwardly since there is no face-to-face interaction and they can hide their real identity by using a fake account. Moreover, no matter how good the reputation of the entertainer is, there are always be negative comments towards them.

B. Suggestion After conducting the research about impoliteness, below are suggestions to the reader especially for the next researcher: First, since the research about impoliteness is rarely to conduct rather than politeness, it is suggested that the next researcher specifically who wants to conduct research in pragmatics could consider impoliteness as a topic of the research. Second, there are many impoliteness utterances in social media or the other online media, therefore it could be great if the next researcher could use social media or another online platform to be a corpus instead of debates or movies. Third, it is suggested that the next researcher who wants to conduct the research with a similar topic and corpus could explore more about the use of punctuation and emoticon that used in an impolite utterance. Last, since people easily convey their hatred towards another person in social media it does not mean we are free to offense the others, therefore be wise while using social media or another online platform.

Article 2. Chris Hemsworth and Chris Evans look handsome in colorful suits as they lead male cast at Avengers: Endgame premiere in Shanghai.

They may have ditched their superhero costumes. But Chris Hemsworth and Chris Evans looked amazing in suits of a different kind. The two A-list actors were joined by co-stars Paul Rudd and Jeremy Renner for the Avengers: Endgame premiere in Shanghai, China on Thursday. Hemsworth, 35, looked hunky in a navy blue suit worn over a white shirt with the top few buttons undone and no tie. Evans, 37, countered ice with fire as he sported a red suit over an orange shirt with a brown tie and matching dress shoes. Rudd, 50, looked handsome in a dark navy checked suit while 48-year-old Renner wore a blue suit over a crisp white dress shirt and black tie. The foursome seemed to have a blast at the event together as they hammed it up for the crowd as Evans and Hemsworth even stopped to take a selfie.

Article 8 Ed Sheeran reveals he was bullied at school for having ginger hair, glasses and a stutter... but says being 'weird' has brought him success.

He is now a four-time Grammy Award winner, but there was once a time when the superstar singer Ed Sheeran was bullied for having ginger hair. The 28- year-old singer, who recently married his childhood sweetheart Cherry Seaborn, 26, has revealed would cry every day after school after being taunted by his fellow peers for his ginger hair, glasses and a stutter. In spite of his 'odd' and 'quirky' appearance, the musician said it was his differences that finally led to his musical success. During an interview with DJ Nihal and rapper Dave for campaign group Love Music Hate Racism, the singer also revealed that it was music that finally brought him confidence and allowed him to fit in. When asked if he felt he was different at school Ed replied: 'Well yeah because I was ginger so I was instantly ripped into from the day I started school. 'Ginger, had a stutter, wore huge glasses, just a bit odd, but then as I got older I kind of loved it. I have always looked a little bit quirky and I never had much luck with girls it was always like I looked a bit weird and then when I started playing music every time I would do a gig everyone was like ''oh it's the ginger guy with the small guitar'' and you get remembered for that. 'And then suddenly you start gaining a bit of attraction because you are memorable. The thing I always say to kids now is it's great to be weird.' Now topping the charts with his global success, Ed described how there was once a time he would cry every day after returning home from primary school. He said: 'I hated primary school with a passion. I would cry every single day. 'And then I got to high school and started playing guitar, I joined a band and music is just one of these things which gives you confidence and you're suddenly like ''wow I can actually do something well''. 'Before I picked up a guitar I literally did nothing. 'I went to a primary school that was quite sporty and I couldn't play sport and that was it. That was how you were cool. 'If you are good at football you are cool and I wasn't good at football but then when I started high school it was such a melting pot of different things that I started playing the guitar and started fitting in.' The Perfect hitmaker married partner Cherry just before Christmas last year after the pair began dating in 2015. Almost a year before their engagement was announced, the

musician had hinted he was ready to pop the question in an interview on Australia's KIIS FM Kyle and Jackie O show.

While she is looking forward to new adventures in her 30s, she admitted her friends are still her number one priority, having supported her for many years.
