4.4.1. Male-Male Interactions
Making request to someone we never know is not as easy as when we make request to the one we know well. Thus, the prompt four sets to know what
strategy that the participants used to convey their request. From the results, the participant 1, 2, and 4 prefer to use non-conventionally indirect request that is
strong hints. They convey the utterances which contain partial reference to object or to elements needed for the implementation of the act, directly pragmatically
implying the act, using interrogative form. In the request perspective, the first two participants choose impersonal while the other two use hearer-oriented, while the
fourth participant use speaker-oriented as their perspective. The all male participants modify their strategies to make their request more polite by adding
alerter or attention getter. The first participant chooses both apologetic “excuse me
” and discourse marker “sir” and the third and fifth participants as well, while the other only use discourse marker like “Mr. Policemen” and “Sir”. In internal
modification, all of them use interrogative as downgraders which can be seen in their requests form. Although, only the third and fourth participant are the
participants who add external modification “may I ask you? as getting a precomittment
to obtain a precommital modifications and “Do you know orchad road?
”to check on H availability. In the lexicogrammatical aspect, some off the participants should more concern in capitalization because they still make a
mistake in write street‟s name like “…orchad road” or discourse marker like “sir”, the first letter orchad, road and sir must be written in capital letter. Besides,
the first participant also makes a mistake in using punctuation in his
alerterattention getter which is written “Excuse me sir,” that should be written “Excuse me, Sir.”
