Direct answers were observed in questions that could reflect positively on the government’s image.

This research needs to be carried out </em><em>to</em><em> obtain an overview of the application of politeness principles used by students in communicating. This research is descriptive qualitative research with instrumental case studies, the instrument used is Maxim Leech. The source of this research data is student texts sent to lecturers. The research data are sentences, phrases, or words that contain aspects of politeness </em><em>by</em><em> Leech's politeness principles. Data retrieval </em><em>uses</em><em> the note-taking method, while data analysis </em><em>uses</em><em> the </em><em>high</em><em> method. The basic analysis technique is a technique for direct elements that sorts text into several categories of data forms, namely sentences, clauses, phrases, and words. The results of this study indicate that all politeness maxims are not used by students in sending student Whatsapp messages to lecturers</em><em>. </em><em>. </em><em>From the six Maxim Leech Principles, five of them are used by students in communication. The five maxims are </em><em>tact maxim, approbation maxim, modesty maxim, </em><em>generosity</em><em> maxim, and agreement maxim. Of the </em><em>five maxims used</em><em>, the modesty maxim </em><em>is </em><em>most widely used compared to the other maxims</em><em>. This shows that the politeness of students in a humble attitude exceeds other politeness. </em><em>Research on student politeness can still be developed both in theory, methodology, and the depth of the discussion</em></p><p class="16" align="justify"> </p><p class="16" align="justify"><strong><em><span>Keywords</span></em></strong><em><span>: </span></em><em><span>politeness, WhatsApp, online learning</span></em><em></em></p>2022-04-03T00:00:00+00:00Copyright (c) 2022 Netty Nurdiyani, Sasongko Sasongkohttps://e-journal.iainsalatiga.ac.id/index.php/jopr/article/view/7587Presupposition in The Mystery and Thriller Film of “Escape from Pretoria"2022-09-02T15:20:58+00:00Haryati Haryatiharyati.safa@gmail.com<p style="text-align: justify;"><em>Presupposition itself has been a cause of the diversity of interpretations since presupposition sticks to utterances, sometimes unsaid clearly, that will provide implied meanings based on the context that is being talked about. The purposes of the study are to investigate three major points: the kinds of presupposition, their functions, and the percentage of each presupposition in the mystery and thriller film script of “Escape from Pretoria” by Francis Annan. This research used a qualitative method to analyze the obtained data. The observation is also used to collect data in which data are obtained from film scripts. The writer applies Yule’s theory (1996) to analyze the presupposition kinds, Halliday’s theory (2003) to analyze presupposition functions, and Subana’s formula to gain the percentage of each presupposition. As a result, there were 177 presuppositions obtained in the film script, with 166 existential presuppositions (93.8%), six factive presuppositions (3.4%), four lexical presuppositions (2.2%,) and one counterfactual presupposition (0.6%). From 177 presuppositions, the data were classified into 23 regulatory functions (13.0%), 2 interactional functions (1.1%), 57 representational functions (32.2%), 79 personal functions (44.6%), 1 imaginative function (0.6%), 4 instrumental functions (2.3%) and 11 heuristic functions (6.2%). Therefore, the dominant presupposition is existential, and the dominant function of presupposition is personal. </em></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><strong><span data-preserver-spaces="true">Keywords</span></strong><em><span data-preserver-spaces="true">: </span></em><em>film script of Escape from Pretoria, pragmatics, presupposition</em></p>2022-08-10T11:32:01+00:00Copyright (c) 2022 Haryati Haryatihttps://e-journal.iainsalatiga.ac.id/index.php/jopr/article/view/7559Flouting Maxim in “The Hundred-Foot Journey Movie”: An Opportunity to Improve Students’ Intercultural Literacy2022-09-02T15:43:13+00:00Leilya Sari Yustikaleilya.21005@mhs.unesa.ac.idSlamet Setiawanslametsetiawan@unesa.ac.idPratiwi Retnaningdyahpratiwiretnaningdyah@unesa.ac.id<p class="AbstractTitle" style="text-align: justify;"><em><span lang="EN-US">Facing the advancement of the technology era, there is increasing awareness about integrating intercultural communicative competence in the English language teaching process. Because many people from diverse cultural backgrounds talk in English, students should acquire that competence to compete globally. To produce appropriate conversation, Grice proposes four maxims that should be obeyed, called cooperative principles. However, because of a cross-cultural situation, someone can flout the maxim as part of communication. Therefore, the present study discusses the type and the reason for flouting maxims done by the characters in a movie which is a good learning medium to teach in a classroom. Furthermore, this study wanted to explore the cause of why the movie could be an opportunity for the teacher to increase students’ intercultural literacy through the English teaching and learning process. The data gathered from the movie script and the character’s behavior in a cross-cultural situation will be analyzed through content and thematic analysis. The result showed the figures of the movie flouted the maxim of quantity, quality, relevance, and manner. Humor intention, conviviality, enmity, elaborate explanation, prestige, mocking, and stating opinion were found in the movie as the characters’ motivation why they flout the maxim. The movie had an opportunity to improve students’ intercultural literacy by studying the characters’ communication and behavior.

The data were collected by using Discourse Completion Task (DCT) with 60 participants from 30 Javanese (East Java) and 30 Sundanese (West Java) speakers. The data were analyzed by using the classification of request strategies by Blum-Kulka et al., 1989) and social contexts in terms of social power, social distance, and degree of imposition by Brown and Levinson (1987) to reveal the levels of directness and politeness of request employed by each group of speakers. The result of this study indicates that Direct Strategy in the form of mood derivable and Conventionally Indirect Strategy in the form of query preparatory are two request strategies that are mainly employed by both Javanese and Sundanese speakers. In particular, Javanese speakers employ a more Direct Strategy than Sundanese speakers. However, the patterns of request strategies employed by Javanese and Sundanese speakers in most social contexts are similar. In addition, both groups of speakers can also adapt to the situations and employ appropriate requests to the hearer. Therefore, politeness and appropriateness in requests employed by each group of speakers in their DCT responses can reflect the local wisdom of each culture.</em></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Keywords</strong><em>: requests; social contexts; politeness; Javanese; Sundanese</em></p>2022-09-02T08:47:20+00:00Copyright (c) 2022 Permas Adinda Chintawidy, Ni Wayan Sartinihttps://e-journal.iainsalatiga.ac.id/index.php/jopr/article/view/7784The pragmatics and Semiotics Analysis of Vinyl Record Cover Art They Fell From The Sky's Album DECADE2022-09-24T05:35:43+00:00Sigied Himawan Yudhantosigiedhy@staff.uns.ac.idFaizal Risdiantofaizalrisdianto@iainsalatiga.ac.id<p style="text-align: justify;"><em>In this study, the researchers focus on the meaning of the DECADE album cover from They Fell From The Sky music band.
