“…Namun, menurut penelitian sebelumnya, kesantunan berbahasa adalah tindakan yang dilakukan oleh masyarakat tutur untuk mengurangi konflik atau perselisihan di antara anggota komunitas dengan menghormati mitra tutur lainnya (Evans, 2018;Hartini dkk., 2023). Menurut pendapat ini, penelitian yang dilakukan oleh Lai & Tan (2023;Nurjaleka, Nurhayati, & Supriatnaningsih, (2022), yaitu kesantunuan universal menurut teori Brown dan Levinson. Tingkat kesantunan setiap orang juga dipengaruhi oleh perbedaan budaya dan sosial.…”

This research examines the phenomenon of the decadence of language politeness by focusing on changes in politeness values and the decline in communication ethics. This research is based on Brown and Levinson's theory of politeness which pays attention to the factors of social distance, social power, and threat ratings in communication, as well as anthroposociopragmatic theory to understand the influence of culture and social structure on language use. The method used is descriptive qualitative, with data collection through direct observation and analysis of student digital communication documents, especially via WhatsApp. Data analysis shows that there is a decline in politeness in language which is characterized by the use of less polite speech, both in daily communication between students and with lecturers. The research results show that the decadence of language politeness among cross-cultural students at Universitas Tribhuwana Tunggadewi Malang is influenced by various factors, including environmental influences, social media, and a lack of understanding of language politeness norms in diverse socio-cultural contexts. This study emphasizes the importance of understanding intercultural communication, cultural identity, and social interaction in overcoming the decadence of language politeness, as well as the need to integrate material on language politeness in higher education to develop effective and polite student communicative competence.

“…According to the findings of a study conducted by supriatnaningsih [2], Japanese language students participating in an internship or internship in Japan still have difficulty speaking politely in Japanese because of the situation when communication only uses an explanation of the situation from the lecturer, unlike in real situations. Similarly, Japanese language learners, so the findings of this study might provide information about politeness awareness in Japanese Jisshusei/Indonesian trainees in Japan based on sociopragmatic manners that Jisshusei should be aware of in various workplace scenarios.…”

Japanese language politeness is essential for being understood by Japanese language students and people who work in Japan, such as Indonesian trainees (Jisshusei) currently in Japan. Recognizing Japanese politeness utterances by trainees will help facilitate harmonious relationships for speakers. Moreover, the interlocutors can be mutually respectful. So, the trainees can communicate with Japanese people. Based on our preliminary investigation, students in Universitas Negeri Semarang who had the opportunity to participate in an internship program in Japan between 2017-2021 still had difficulty using Japanese politeness in an actual situation. This was because, when learning in class, informal situations were conditioned through lecturer explanations, so students had difficulty imagining situations similar to the actual situation. Trainees or Jisshusei who are taking technical training in Japan should be aware of the Japanese politeness form they use because they will be able to respect each other among speakers in terms of social relations with coworkers and their superiors when they take the technical training in Japan. Furthermore, the awareness of using polite speech in their environment when participating in the training, both at the time of how to apply or refuse following the Japanese society's norms. Based on this context; it is believed that this study will be able to 1) identify the type of respect/politeness utilized by the trainees (Jisshusei) in the given situation, 2) identify the forms of speech acts of request used in specific situations, and 3) identify the forms of refusal speech acts used in specific situations. The findings of this study are expected to assist Indonesian trainees or Jisshusei in Japan, as well as Japanese language students who will work or participate in internships or work in Japan. In understanding the significance of the Japanese politeness utterances, which must be used following the rules that apply in Japanese society.

Abstract. This study aims to investigate and define Japanese women's language politeness in communication interviews. This study is descriptive, using a content analysis approach. This study collected Japanese women's words, phrases, and clauses from YouTube videos and used free-conversation listening and note-taking techniques to acquire data. The results showed three main types of Japanese woman’s polite language in communication interviews: teineigo, kenjougo, and sonkeigo. Sonkeigo is used when the speaker wishes to show respect for the other person and the person being discussed. In contrast, the phrase kenjyogo puts the speaker on a lesser level with the recipient. Teineigo is best described as a form of polite or formal speech. It is found that keigo is a method of Japanese women to express their politeness, etiquette and also emotional in the same time This finding also contributes to a greater understanding of social position and social status in Japanese society, as well as how Japanese women communicate to maintain their image in the eyes of others Keywords: Japanese Woman, Politeness Language, Communication Interview, Sociolinguistic
