Playback Time: 01:43:15 Page: 69 Elizabeth Swann to Jack Sparrow, Will Turner and Norrington: Stop it
The three men who have come to island where the chest is buried begin fighting to own it for theirselves purpose. Seeing this situation, Elizabeth tries to stop them by
yelling Stop it This is a bald on record expression that means unambigous and is supposed as an urgency expression. In such a condition, Elizabeth may choose this
strategy in order to make her statement brief and efficient. Will Turner and Norrington as the hearer must understand to what Elizabeth says, they must
interpret that Elizabeth wants they to stop fighting each other, because the words Elizabeth says are very clear and easily understandable.

Playback Time: 00:35:17 Page: 24 Will Turner to Crewmen: Hurry
Will Turner and crewmen and the Turkish are caged in two separated spherical cages which are hung from ropes over a deep chasm. They begin swinging the
cages then both cages finally come within reach of the cliff, they grab vines and hang on to the cliff. Each group begins racing against each other up the cliff and Will
Turner orders his crewmen to climb faster by saying Hurry. This expression is accepted by the theory as a statement of urgency. The plot makes it urgency
because if Will and the crewmen cannot reach the cliff immeadiately, the cannibals will capture them soon as they arrive. So in such a situation, speaking baldly and
39
directly is a right strategy. Moreover, those whom Will Turner speaks to are crewmen who have well relationship each other.

Playback Time: 00:37:33 Page: 26 Will Turner to Crewmen: Roll the cage
The men in Will’s cage are unable to the cage open in time before the cannibals will reach them. In a quick-to-think situation, Will decides to roll the cage and order
his crewmen by saying what he actually means. In such a situation, this expression takes a role on avoiding ambiguity and obscurity. Will knows that if he speaks with
providing information too much than is required, it will make situation worst cannibals will reach and capture Will and crewmen before they can open and get
out of the cage. So the choice using bald on record is the best strategy.

Playback Time: 00:13:04 Page: 9 Jack Sparrow to Bill Turner:
Bill Turner : You got the Pearl back, I see.
Jack Sparrow : I had some help retrieving the Pearl, by the way. This expression applies positive politeness on avoiding disagreement by taking
agreement. What Jack expreses shows that he definitely agrees with Bill Turner, but then he carries on to state his own opinion which may be completely contrary to that
of Bill Turner. Jack knows how to manage Bill’s positive face so he takes agreement
40
on Bill’s opinion but later he twists his own opinion by providing a few real information without showing disagreement. Using ‘by the way’ is also an additional
way to hide disagreement while Jack expressiong his opinion.
