Abstract

Politeness strategies are used by mostly people in daily conversation. The use of politeness strategies is useful as a way for both parties to avoid conversations that tend to lead to misunderstanding and miscommunication. Politeness in conversation can be found in all circles, including children. Children who still acquire language from the environment tend to follow what they see and hear. The use of language between children and adults is surely different. Children express their own intentions and make inferences about the intentions of others from early age. In this respect, this research is conducted to reach the following purpose (1) To find out kinds of politeness strategies that applied in children’s utterances in the Kids Meet video and (2) To find out the factors that influence the choice of politeness strategies that applied in children utterances.
