the differences of politeness strategies by a male and a
female in their use of language by the theory of Brown
and Levinson.
In analyzing the data, the writer will use
"Private Lives" , a play by Noel Coward. This play is
the story of misadventures caused by an exchange of
of husbands and wives.
In analyzing data, the writer only chooses two
characters, Elyot and Amanda. These reasons are this two
speakers talk more than the others, the number of their
utterances is almost equal, and the play focuses more on
their problem.
The writer finds out through this play that
both of them use more on positive politeness than nega-tive
politeness. However, the male uses more posi-tive
politeness than the female. It shows that the male
uses more polite strategies than the female. However the
differences of politeness strategies which is used by
them is not great because they come from the same
status.
