Verbal communication in an interaction has many subtle messages sent along with the exact words coming out of participants. Through it all there are distinct social situation that can be discerned. It determines social situation as an important part in the language being used. It regulates who says what to whom; where and when it is spoken, in what setting and so on. This study aims to identify and describe how Sundanese speakers keep their face or distance from their partners by using terms of address at Sundanese speech level. This study adopted qualitative descriptive research methods. The data were collected by content analysis and focus group discussion technique. This study shows that in a formal situation such as classroom, the terms of address used during the conversation between a lecturer, assistant lecturer, and students are classified as polite (lemes) terms of address in the Sundanese system.
