Abstract


ABSTRACT

This article is aimed to investigate the power, identity, and ideology behind politeness expressions, as well as the maxims of politeness established by Leech and applied in the English language use of members of the Graduate Program of English Education's OLC. The data were taken in the third semester and one session at UIN Syarif Hidayatullah Jakarta. As a result, the language employed in this study is examined using Fairclough's qualitative design and Critical Discourse Analysis. Following that, the data was evaluated. Eight utterances suggest the employment of the tact maxim, six utterances of the generosity maxim, ten utterances of the approbation maxim, eleven utterances of modesty, and nine utterances of the agreement maxim discovered in the results. The politeness that occurs in the OLC remains that community members maintain politeness level refers to the educational and academic setting that used such expressions of politeness that still include the hidden meaning or critics within the conversations in which they are actively participating. Furthermore, the pedagogical implications of this study revealed that politeness awareness had influenced the effective creation of meaningful teaching and learning processes on how the English language is utilized between higher-level students and the lecturer. Furthermore, this study will likely be part of the literature on politeness in dialogue in the online learning community.
