Abstract

This research attempts to explain Tetralogy Novel by Ki Padmasusastra (in the future referred to as NTKP) from politeness. This study used qualitative research methods—the data source for the novels by Ki Padmasusastra. Triangulation is used to analyze data. The data analysis technique used a content analysis model. The results and conclusions of the study show that through the narrative, storyline, and character characters. Implicitly or explicitly show human politeness attitudes towards all entities. Community politeness in NTKP is displayed through metaphorical language strategies. The metaphor of politeness in NTKP is influenced by the author’s socio-cultural conditions as a Javanese who is thick with Orientalist ethical values. Cultural symbols are attributes used for the calculation and interpretation of strategic language choices. An important implication of the research findings is that human awareness to respect existing entities will build strengths that can guide humans to maintain relationships with all elements. Through NTKP, Ki Padmasusastra emphasizes language politeness, ethics, harmonization, and respect for all.
