Playback Time: 00:43:50 Page: 30 Jack Sparrow to Will Turner:
William, I shall trade you the Compass, if you will help me to find this. On the deck, Will Turner tells Jack Sparrow about the arrest of Elizabeth by Lord
Cutler Beckett. He also tells that he needs Jack compass to free her. Jack notices he may also need Will’s help, then he trades Will the compass but Will must help Jack
to find the key of a chest where the heart of Davy Jones is put. This expression uses positive politeness: assume or assert reciprocity in order to give existence of
cooperation between S and H. Simply, what Jack says is giving evidence of reciprocal right or obligation obtaining between Jack and Will. Here is another
expression of this strategy as an analogy to what Jack expresses. ‘I will lend you fifty thousand rupiahs, if you will help me to repair my bike.’
