ABTRACT
Azizah, 2013. The Analysis of Politeness Strategies in the Sript of Interview With
Psy About Gangnam Style oon The Jonathan Ross Show and Talk Asia.
Skripsi: English Education Department, Teacher training and Education
Faculty. Muria Kudus University. Advisor: Atik Rokhayani, S.Pd, M.Pd.
and Fajar Kartika, SS, M.Hum.

Key words: Politeness Strategies, interviews, Jonathan Ross Show and Talk Asia.
A good interaction requires politeness principle to organize how to convey
information to the audience or hearer. There are several reasons why politeness is
important. First, the speaker can indicate politeness that they are educated people,
whereas other reason politeness is a sign that there is mutual respect during the
conversation. Politeness can be learned through an interview on talk show script,
for instance: Jonathan Ross show and Talk Asia.
This skripsi aims to analyze the kinds of politeness strategies by Brown
and Levinson (1987) which is used by a native Korean who speak English fluently
during the interview with an English speaker.

This research is a qualitative descriptive research. The data of this study is
the utterances of politeness which are found during the interview with Psy on the
Jonathan Ross show and Talk Asia issued on November 2012. There are several
steps in conducting this study: finding the data, clasify it’s data and also
tabulating.
In this study, the writer found 24 politeness strategies on the Jonathan Ross
show and 54 politeness strategies on Talk Asia. Politeness strategies are most
often used in both show is positive politeness strategy in which there are 17
positive politenesses on the Jonathan Ross show and 38 positive politenesses on
Talk Asia. Which means that during the interview they more often show solidarity
appealing of friendship and closeness with each other.
Based on the process and results of this research, the writer suggest that
teachers primarily who teach English subject in order to vary the learning process
by using dialogue interviews to improve students' skills in speaking, especially in
choosing the right words to communicate and make them more polite.

ABSTRAKSI
Azizah, 2013. Analisis Strategi Kesopanan dalam Naskah Wawancara dengan

Psy Mengenai Gangnam Style pada Jonathan Ross Show dan Talk Asia.
Skripsi: Departemen Pendidikan Bahasa Inggris. Fakultas Keguruan dan
Ilmu Pendidikan. Universitas Muria Kudus. Pembimbing: Atik
Rokhayani, S.Pd, M.Pd. dan Fajar Kartika, SS, M.Hum.

Kata kunci : Strategi Kesopanan, wawancara, acara Jonathan Ross dan Talk asia
Interaksi yang baik membutuhkan prinsip kesantunan untuk mengorganisir
bagaimana menyampaikan sebuah informasi kepada pendengar. Ada beberapa
alasan mengapa kesantunan sangatlah penting. Pertama, kesantunan
mengindikasikan pembicaranya bahwa mereka adalah orang-orang yang
berpendidikan, sedangkan alasan lainnya kesantunan merupakan isyarat bahwa
ada sikap saling menghargai selama percakapan berlangsung. Kesantunan dapat
dipelajari melalui script sebuah acara wawancara ditelevisi, sebagai contoh : acara
Jonathan Ross dan Talk asia.
Skripsi ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis macam-macam strategi
kesopanan berdasarkan teori teori Brown and Levinson (1987) yang digunakan
oleh seorang Korea asli yang berbahasa inggris lancar selama proses wawancara
dengan pembicara bahasa inggris asli.
Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian deskriptif kualitatif. Data penelitian ini
adalah ungkapan kesantunan yang ditemukan selama proses wawancara dangan

Psy di acara Jonathan Ross dan Talk asia yang terjadi pada November 2012.
Terdapat beberapa langkah dalam menjalankan penelitian ini, yaitu menemukan
data, mengklasifikasikannya dan juga menyusun table.
Hasil penelitian ini, penulis menemukan 24 strategi kesopanan pada acara
Jonathan Ross dan 54 strategi kesopanan pada acara Talk Asia. Strategi
kesopanan yang paling sering digunakan pada kedua acara tersebut adalah
kesantunan positif, dimana terdapat 17 kesantunan positif pada acara Jonathan
Ross dan 38 kesantunan positif pada acara Talk Asia, yang artinya selama
wawancara berlangsung mereka lebih sering menunjukkan kekompakkan dalam
persahabatan serta kedekatan satu sama lain.
Berdasarkan proses dan hasil penelitan ini, penulis menyarankan terutama
pada pengajar yang mengajarkan bahasa inggris agar dapat memvariasi proses
belajar mengajar dengan menggunakan dialog wawancara dalam rangka
meningkatkan kemampuan siswa berdialog terutama dalam memilih kata-kata
yang tepat untuk berkomunikasi.
