Abstract

The current research is concerned with cyber pragmatics that analyzes the impoliteness of formulae used by netizens on social media in political comments. Instagram and Facebook are the media interactions that contain impolite comments. The main theory used in this study is Culpeper theory (2011) which explains that impoliteness is communication behavior that intends to attack the face of the interlocutor. The method used is a qualitative method. Data is collected using note-taking techniques through screenshots and data is obtained from the comments of netizens on Facebook and Instagram. The results of data analysis based on the Impoliteness formula showed there were 29 comments of Insult, 11 in Criticisms, 8 in Prejudice, 13 in Message enforcement, 6 in Threats, and 15 comments in Negative Expression. Based on the results of data analysis there were several functions of linguistic impoliteness, namely to criticize, be sarcastic, and express anger and disappointment.
