talking to each other. In this case, Molly works as a nanny for Ray. That is why she should create a comfortable atmospher.
The third position that appears in the data is generosity maxim. In showing her interest to Ray, Molly used this principle in her conversation. Molly tends to put
the cost to herself rather than to Ray or the hearer. The fourth position that appears in the data is approbation maxim. In this
principle, there is only Molly who uses this principle. It is because Molly wants to make Ray feel that the
re is someone who cares about her. It is because Ray’s parents did not care enough about Ray. So, she applies this strategy when she is working as
Ray’s nanny. Meanwhile, modesty maxim reaches the lowest number because Molly prefers
to give praise to Ray than dispraise to herself. It is because she wants to teach how to appreciate herself in front of the hearer or others.
In this research, sympathy maxim is never used in the data. It is because Ray as the main character, is so stubborn that she never complains about anything. Molly
prefers to use ta ct maxim in the conversation since she works as Ray’s nanny.
B. Suggestions
Based on the findings of the study, the researcher suggests that further research provide deeper investigations, especially on the concept of politeness
strategies and politeness principles. It is because there are still many unresolved problems in this research. In this research, not all of the sub-strategies and principles
are found. In fact, the researcher found that several sub-strategies and principles do
not emerge in the data. Therefore, other researchers are suggested to find other relevant objects to complete all of the sub-strategies and principles that are proposed
in the theory.
