Abstract

This study aims to describe the principles of politeness in the novel Manusia Dan Badainya by Syahid Muhammad as an application of Indonesian language learning in high school. Geoffrey Leech's theory is used as a grand theory in this study. This study applies a qualitative approach with a descriptive method. Data were obtained from the utterances of characters in the novel that reflect Leech's politeness principles. Politeness is an important aspect in communication that includes the principles of politeness to maintain interpersonal relationships, including 1. Maxim of tact as many as 35 utterances, 2. Maxim of generosity as many as 18 utterances, 3. Maxim of praise as many as 33 utterances, 4. Maxim of humility as many as 43 utterances, 5. Maxim of agreement as many as 38 utterances, and 6. Maxim of sympathy as many as 47 utterances. The results of the study indicate that the novel Manusia Dan Badainya contains various forms of language politeness that are in accordance with Leech's principles, especially in interactions between characters. In addition, these findings can be utilized in Indonesian language learning in high school, especially in novel story texts and pragmatics, to improve students' understanding of the importance of politeness in communication. This study contributes to the development of teaching materials based on politeness values to support students' communication competencies.
