Abstract
Talk shows like The Ellen Show often attract significant attention. As the host, Ellen DeGeneres employs politeness strategies to maintain relationships and create a comfortable atmosphere with her guests. In everyday communication, understanding the meaning of sentences is crucial for sustaining good social relationships. Politeness, which is a branch of pragmatics, focuses on the use of polite speech strategies, with positive politeness being the primary strategy to show care and respect for the social and psychological needs of others. This study explores the positive politeness strategies used by Ellen DeGeneres in her interview with Kris and Kylie Jenner, as well as the factors influencing her choice of strategies. The study aims to identify the positive politeness strategies employed by Ellen DeGeneres and the factors that affect them. Data were gathered from an interview aired on YouTube on August 10, 2023, and analyzed using Spardley’s analysis model (domain analysis, taxonomic analysis, componential analysis, and cultural theme analysis). Brown and Levinson’s (1987) theory was utilized to identify the categories of strategies and the factors influencing their selection. The results of this study show that out of seventy-one data findings, the strategies of giving attention and exaggerating were the most frequently used, each occurring thirteen times. The strategy of intensifying the feeling of interest appeared eleven times, showing agreement eight times, jokes seven times, giving or asking for reasons six times, understanding desires five times, giving gifts five times, involving the speaking partner once, using in-group identity markers once, and offering/promising once. The most dominant factors influencing the choice of strategies were payoff with forty-one instances and relevant circumstances with thirty instances. In conclusion, the use of positive politeness strategies such as giving attention and exaggerating is driven by the need to maximize the social benefits of interaction. These strategies help strengthen interpersonal relationships and create a positive atmosphere, thereby enhancing trust and emotional satisfaction between the speaker and the interlocutor.
