Abstract

The study is aimed at investigating impoliteness in conversation, the researcher conducted a study of impoliteness in the 'Tall Girl' movie. This movie tells the story of an American teenage girl who has a height that is not like the average American teenage girl and the phenomenon of impoliteness occurs in this movie. There are two problems to be solved in this study, namely; (1) what are the types of impoliteness formulation are used by the main female character and her male interlocutors (2) what are the functions of the impoliteness formulation used by the main female character and her male interlocutors the movie Tall Girl. This study uses qualitative approach in relation to the use of clear and systematic description about the phenomena being studied. Descriptive study in textual analysis was applied in this study to analyze conversation of the main characters through the script of Tal Girl movie. The data were collected by first transcribing the Tall Girl movie. The transcription was then analyzed by identifying the types of impoliteness strategies by applying suitable codes in the appropriate text. The analysis was continued by identifying the functions of the impoliteness strategies applied by the main female character and her male interlocutors in the film. The results of the study show that all strategies of impoliteness have been applied in this film. The researcher found that Jodi used all the impoliteness strategies while her male interlocutors only used three of the five impoliteness strategies. Of the five existing impoliteness strategies, Jodi mostly uses positive impoliteness strategies while her male interlocutors more often use negative impoliteness strategies. Jodi implemented a strategy of positive impoliteness due to the influence of the nature of women who are very empathetic in social relations so that the topic of conversation can be considered very effective as an act of threatening face. Meanwhile, her male interlocutors use more negative impoliteness because men feel they have a domineering character whose will must be obeyed by the other person. Then the function of impoliteness that is most often found in Jodi's speech is affective impoliteness which indicates if Jodi uses impoliteness strategies because of the heightened emotional intensity when having a conversation with her interlocutor.
