enables the researcher to analyze the data by using reference. In this study, the researcher used
Brown and Levinson’s 1987 theory of politeness strategies and Grice’s 1975 theory of cooperative principle to analyze the data.
After collecting the data completely from the movie, the data was analyzed with the use of a referential method. Such a method analyzes the data in reference
to the theory employed in this study. In this research, there were some activities that the researcher had to do to be able to analyze the data correctly. Firstly, the
researcher analyzed the context of the situation in the conversation which used the positive politeness strategies. Secondly, she analyzed the types of maxim violation
when the positive politeness strategies appear. The last, she counted the data findings to get an actual frequency of the data that will be used to get the
conclusions.
F. Trustworthiness of the Data
This research conducted trustworthiness to avoid the subjectivity and to minimize the invalid data. To achieve trustworthiness, this study applied
triangulation. Moleong 2004:178 states that triangulation is a technique to crosscheck data trustworthiness by using something outside of the data to verify
them. Furthermore, triangulation can be done by crosschecking the data with the other researchers. In this study, the triangulation was conducted by comparing the
finding data to the related theories by doing crosschecking with the other researchers. T
he researcher’s classmates checked the findings data and the data interpretation through discussions and gave some suggestions about the findings.
They were Hanifa Pascarina and Kistin Hidayati who were the students of English Language and Literature Study Program majoring in linguistics.

CHAPTER IV FINDINGS AND DISCUSSION
This chapter presents the results of the research and is divided into two sections. The first section presents and describes the examined data from Carnage
movie. The data found are related to the positive politeness strategies and maxim violating in the movie and presented in terms of frequency and percentage. The
second section consists of a discussion of the data found in Carnage movie. This section provides a deep explanation on the positive politeness strategies and
maxim violating found in Carnage movie. There are some examples for the analysis to make the explanations clear.
A. Research Findings
This section consists of two parts. The first part describes the findings for the types of positive politeness strategies which are used by the characters in
Carnage movie and the second part describes the maxim violation when the
characters are expressing positive politeness strategies. From the object of the research, there are 67 data found by the researcher.
