| Summary: | This study attempts to look into the realization of politeness strategies among family
members in naturally occurring conversations. One of the important aspects of this
study is to determine the patterns of politeness strategies demonstrated among family
members in a family. On top of that, this study also delves into how the interlocutors
accommodate face strategies among family members.
In this qualitative study, a non-participation observation was deployed. This study
comprised seven sets of conversations, with 35 subjects being involved and each set
of the conversation lasting between 50 and 60 minutes. A brief follow-up interview
session with the subjects of this study was also carried out after the analysis of data
was done. Information obtained from the follow-up interview was helpful to
substantiate the data and findings.
The key findings indicated that positive politeness and bald-on record appear to be
the most commonly used politeness strategies by family members of this study, while
the employment of negative politeness and off-record politeness were less frequent.
On the other hand, it was found that the interlocutors commonly employed laughter
and local particles in their conversations to accommodate face strategies among each
other. |
