Effendi Kadarisman, MA, Ph.D (2) Dr. Nur Mukminatien.Key Words: Politeness Strategies, Face Threatening Acts, Desperate Housewives, Drama Script,Pragmatics.The research focuses on the concepts of pragmatics and politeness. The main objective of thisstudy is to investigate the use of politeness strategies in TV series Desperate Housewives.Specifically, this study is designed to find out the kind(s) of politeness strategies used by Breevan de Kamp in the conversation and to find out the reasons why these politeness strategies areused by Bree van de Kamp. Bree is chosen among the four main characters since she is the onewho fulfill the criteria of a polite person as defined by Holmes.The research design of this study is descriptive-qualitative since the data are collected, analyzed,and described in the form of words rather than numerical scores or statistics. The study isdescriptive because it tries to describe the way politeness strategies are used by a native femaleadult.The data of the research are the utterances, which contain politeness strategies employed byBree van de Kamp. This study has one primary data source which is the drama script ofDesperate Housewives TV series from the first season taken from the internet.The research result shows that Bree uses four kinds of politeness strategies as proposedby Brown and Levinson (1987), namely: Positive Politeness(40%), Negative Politeness ( 31%),Bald on Record (18%) and, Off Record (8%). In using Bald on Record, the most commonsituation that occur are Task-oriented, S's want to satisfy H's face is small, and Urgent. InPositive Politeness, Bree uses Group identity marker more often than Avoid disagreement andGive gifts to H. In Negative Politeness, Hedge is in the top use followed by Be indirect and Givedeference. In Off Record, Bree uses Give association clues, Irony and Overstatement.The possible reason why Bald on Record is chosen is the distance between Bree and H isclose or the rate of imposition is small. Therefore, this strategy can be used in differentcircumstances depending on Bree's motives in doing the FTA. Meanwhile, the reason of usingOff Record strategy is mainly influenced by the social factor, which is the rate of imposition. Theuse of this strategy becomes one sign of her character as a wise person.Positive Politeness is used by Bree when she and her addressee know each other fairlywell. The dominant social factor which influences the use of Positive Politenessis is distance.Besides, Bree shows herself as a caring, affectionate, and understanding person. In line with thisreason, by choosing Negative Politeness, Bree can be marked as a pleasant person who respectsothers. Towards her husband and her close friends, the rate of imposition of a particular topicbecomes the dominant social factor which influences the use of Negative Politeness. In contrast,towards her acquaintances and unfamiliar addressees;distance becomes a dominant social factor which determines the use of NegativePoliteness.In conclusion, all of these strategies are proposed to minimize the FTA done by Bree. Herreason of choosing a certain strategy of politeness is determined by her motives to do an FTAand factor of distance, power, and rate of imposition. In addition, the author is successful inshaping the character of Bree as a polite person through her language, and the way she speaksand interacts with other characters. For pragmatics students, they still have to be aware of socialfactors which influence the use of a specified strategy of politeness. The pragmatics lecturersneed to give more examples of politeness strategies from various contexts to their students.Future researchers are expected to conduct research of politeness not only in real life, but also increated discourses. A comparative study on the use of politeness strategies between English andIndonesian in daily lives, or between English and Indonesian' fictions can become challengingissues for the study of politeness
