Ideologi dan Strategi Kesopanan yang digunakan oleh orang Amerika dan Bugis Bone

REZKI FATIMAH. Ideology and Politeness Strategies used by American People and Buginese with Special Reference to Bone (Supervised by Abdul Hakim Yassi and Harlinah Sahib)
This research aims to investigate the politeness strategies used by American and Buginese people, and to find out the effect of the idelogy in the politeness strategies used by American and Buginese people.
This was the contrastive study between Buginese language and American language in expecting something. The research used the qualitative descriptive approach. English data were obtained through English movies, while Buginese data were obtained through a participant recording and note-taking.
The research result indicates that Buginese people tend to use negative politeness or indirect language when they have an expectation from the other people. While, American people tend to use the positive politeness or direct language although they have an expectation from other people. Therefore, the wish or expectation can influence on the politeness strategies of Buginese in three configurations of Yassi’s theory, among others are: the deference in non-kinship, solidarity in kinship, and hierarchy in kinship. The reason is because Buginese people are more hierarchical and pay more attention to use the honorific lexemes and politeness marker such as tabe’, iye’, daeng and ndi’. However, the wish or expectation does not affect the politeness strategies of American people. The reason is because American people are more friendly and emphasize the solidarity.
