“…[15] proposed that hesitant is a non-verbal refusal act but the way Silena responded Percy is clearly hesitating. Therefore, this could be a new finding to what [16] proposed. Moreover, the translation is in the same strategy.…”

“…Al-Mahrooqi and Al-Aghbari (2016) investigated the refusal strategies among Omani EFL students, Abarghoui (2012) who analyzed a comparison of refusal strategies used by Iranians and Australians and Guo (2012) who explored a comparison of refusal strategies used by Chinese and American. With regard to studies refusal in Indonesia, Aziz (2000 as cited in Muniroh, 2013) observed that the study of refusal is based on the trend of Indonesians who do not speak openly, preferring to express their feeling, thoughts and ideas indirectly which is confirmed by others such as Septiany (2013) ;Chojimah, (2015); Nurweni, Sudirman and Mahpul, (2016).…”

This study aims to investigate the contribution of power relations to the realization of refusal strategies done by Sundanese male and female students. This study employs a descriptive qualitative approach. The data used in the present study were gathered from a Discourse Completion Test (DCT) that was distributed to 4 male and 4 female respondents. The data were analyzed by using Beebe, Takahashi, and Uliss-Welts's (1990) classifications of refusal. The findings show that there is no substantial difference in terms of the strategies employed by both genders. It is also found that power relation influences the realization of refusal. This finding suggests that when the respondents refuse someone who is more powerful, they tend to prioritize the emotional feeling of the requester. Meanwhile, when the respondents refuse someone who is more powerless, they tend to prioritize things by using their logic

“…Fraser and Nolen, cited in Watts, Ide and Ehlich (1992), suggested that politeness is the result of a conversational contract by the participant in an effort to maintain socio-communicative interaction, which is free of conflict. In Indonesian context, for instance, Aziz (2000, as cited in Chojimah, 2015) mentioned four values in the Principle of Mutual Consideration, namely a) Harm and Favor Potential, which reminds us to be careful in uttering expressions since they are potentially either to harm or favor others; b) Shared-feeling Principle, which reminds us that our addressee has the same feeling as we do; c) Prima Facie Principle, which stresses the importance of impression in the first sight since it is the point at which our addressee evaluates our politeness manner, and; d) Continuity Principle, which suggests that the continuity of our communication is dependent on the present communication.…”

Language has a social function to make connection between human beings. Without language, people seem to be impossible to interact with others in their daily communication. In order to sustain the communication well, speakers should be able to choose strategies to have polite conversation. Often politeness strategies are affected by cultural convention, which is based on community’s social values. However, every society operates a normative notion of their own politeness, which is not the same for all interlocutors, situations and cultures. In Javanese norm, for instance, the linguistic choice is often influenced by the addressee’s age, status, position, relationship, social constraints and gender. This essay will first summarize and comment on some of the salient aspects in Coulmas’ article entitled ‘Politeness: cultural dimension of linguistic choice’, part of his book chapters in ‘Sociolinguistics: The study of speakers’ choices’ (2013). As an English teacher, we should be aware of this difference so that we could introduce the politeness strategies in the target culture to the students.ABSTRAKBahasa memiliki fungsi sosial dalam menjaga hubungan dengan sesama individu. Tanpa bahasa, seseorang tidak akan mampu berinteraksi dengan orang lain dalam komunikasi sehari-hari. Untuk mempertahankan komunikasi dengan baik, pembicara harus dapat memilih strategi yang tepat dalam melakukan percakapan yang sopan. Seringkali norma-norma kesopanan yang ada dipengaruhi oleh konvensi budaya, yang didasarkan dari nilai-nilai social kemasyarakatan. Namun, setiap kelompok masyarakat memiliki nilai kesopanan tersendiri yang didasarkan dari norma kesopanan yang mereka percayai, dan norma kesopanan tersebut tidak sama bagi semua lawan bicara, situasi dan budaya. Dalam norma Jawa, misalnya, pemilihan linguistik atau kata sering dipengaruhi oleh usia, status, posisi, hubungan, pertimbangan sosial dan gender si penerima. Artikel ini akan mengidentifikasi dan mengomentari beberapa aspek yang penting dari tulisannya Coulmas yang berjudul 'Kesopanan: dimensi budaya pilihan linguistik', bagian dari bab dari bukunya Coulmas yang berjudul: 'Sosiolinguistik: Studi tentang pilihan pembicara' (2013). Sebagai guru bahasa Inggris, kita harus menyadari perbedaan penggunaaan kata atau pilihan linguistic sehingga kita bisa memperkenalkan strategi kesopanan dalam budaya tertentu kepada siswa.
