Netizens' Compliance and Violations of Politeness in Language on the Kompas TV Youtube Channel

Abstract

This study aims to describe the forms of compliance and violations of the principles of politeness in netizen comments on the KompasTV YouTube channel. The study uses a qualitative descriptive approach with a pragmatic study based on Geoffrey Leech's theory of politeness principles. The research data consists of netizen comments on the video "Kala Erick Thohir Tertawa Dengar Sulul Ahmad Dhani tentang Naturalisasi" during a meeting at the DPR. Data collection techniques were carried out through documentation and note-taking techniques, while data analysis used the stages of data reduction, data presentation, and drawing conclusions. The results showed that 23 utterances of compliance and 112 utterances of violations of the principles of politeness were found. The dominant compliance was found in the maxim of agreement, while the dominant violation was in the maxim of appreciation. The research findings indicate that netizen communication on social media is more dominated by violations of politeness than compliance
