Realizations: NM : Non Minimization CI : Inviting Conversational Implicature VA : Being Vague or Ambiguous CG : Claiming for Common Ground PC : Conveying that Both Participants are Cooperators BD : Being Direct PA : Not Presuming or Assuming AC : Avoiding to Coerce the Addressee SW : Communicating the Speaker’s Want to Not Impinge on the Addressee Brown and Levinson in Goody 1978 propose four types of politeness strategies. They are bald on record, off record, positive politeness and negative politeness. In relation to the speech act of command, each type of politeness strategies is found in the data. Moreover, the frequency of occurrence of each type of politeness strategies is different. The most frequent strategy performed by the speakers is bald on record politeness strategy with 14 data. In this strategy, Vanessa performs 11 utterances and the other 3 utterances are performed by Darius. Since there is only one way to perform bald on record which is without minimization of face threat, therefore, the form of bald on record politeness strategy will be very clear without any ambiguity. Thus, the directness of bald on record politeness strategy gives more advantages for the speakers in giving a command. The second most frequent strategy is positive politeness strategy with 9 data. Six of them are performed by Darius. He performs 4 utterances of positive politeness strategy by claiming for common ground and 2 more utterances by conveying that both participants are cooperators. On the other hand, Vanessa only performs 3 utterances which contain positive politeness strategy and she realizes it in the form of conveying that both participants are cooperators. By using positive politeness strategy, the speakers get some benefits. First, both the speaker and the addressee can get a mutual benefit by being cooperative. Second, when the speakers convey to the addressee that they belong to the same group and have the same goals, it redresses the negative impact on the hearer’s face. The next most frequent strategy is off record politeness strategy by inviting conversational implicature with 4 data, and 3 of them are performed by Vanessa. There are two ways that can be used to realize off record politeness strategy. Inviting conversational implicature and being vague or ambiguous. However, the performance of being vague or ambiguous is not found in the first season of The Lottery TV Series. Both Vanessa and Darius perform speech acts of command by inviting conversational implicatures when the context of the conversation is clear. Thus, they can still convey their intention clearly although some of the utterances contain multiple interpretations. The least frequent strategy to occur is negative politeness with 3 data. All of them are performed by Vanessa in the form of being direct. Being direct means saying something directly on record with an attempt to reduce the negative impact by taking the hearer’s negative face into consideration. Therefore, the speaker can get an advantage for being polite in a certain degree. However, there are three more realizations of negative politeness strategy which do not occur in the first season of The Lottery TV Series. They
