CHAPTER V CONCLUSION AND SUGGESTIONS

In this chapter, there are two main parts; they are conclusion and suggestions. The conclusion part presents the summary of the findings and discussion which are related to the objectives of the research. The suggestions part contains the suggestions that are addressed to future researchers and language learners.

A. Conclusion

The first conclusion of the research is about the type of politeness strategy that Atticus uses during the trial. Atticus uses all types of politeness strategy during the trial, namely bald on record strategy, positive politeness strategy, negative politeness strategy and off record strategy. From the data, there are 65 data about politeness strategies used by Atticus during the trial. They are divided into four types of politeness strategies; first, Bald on Record strategy has 24 data or 36.92, Positive Politeness Strategy has 26 data or 40, Negative Politeness strategy has 8 data or 12.31, and Off Record strategy has 7 data or 10.77. The highest frequency of occurrence is positive politeness with 40, The reason behind this highest occurrence is that Atticus in the courtroom talks and has conversation with several people such as the victim, witnesses, the sheriff and also the judge. Therefore, he needs to use politeness strategy because some of those people are not familiar and close to him, such as the victim and her father who sits as a witness. The lowest frequency of occurrence is the Off Record Strategy. Atticus uses the strategy mostly when talking to Mayella, the victim and also Tom, the defendant who are not too close to him, so he needs to use off record strategy. The second conclusion of the research is about the realization of the politeness strategy. The highest frequency of realization of the Bald on Record politeness strategy is “showing great urgency, efficiency and task orientation” with 13 occurrences. The reason behind this high number of occurrence is because Atticus mostly talks to Sheriff who is also his close friend. Atticus uses the strategy to dig facts and story about the crime, so great urgency, efficiency and task orientation is crucial. For the positive politeness strategy, the highest frequency of realization is “seeking agreement to talk about safe topics, avoiding disagreement and using a joke to put the hearer at ease ” with 9 occurrences. The reason behind these occurrences is because Atticus uses it when talking to the victim of the raping. In order to dig facts of the crime without hurting the victim more, Atticus uses this realization. He seeks agreement in safe topic in order to get the information he needs. For the negative politeness strategy, the highest frequency of realization is “being conventionally indirect” with 4 occurrences. The realization is to avoid burden to the hearer. Atticus mostly uses this realization when interrogating Mayella and her father about sensitive things and particular facts on the raping, so that he needs to avoid burden.
