Abstract

Wayang (literally translated as puppet) as a world heritage culture is not only a performing art but can be used as a means of symbolic communication about human behaviour. The puppet character Yudhishthira can be used as an example in the application of linguistic politeness in today’s life. The background of this research is to examine the communication pattern of the Yudhistira puppet character based on the principle of politeness in language that is raised through the animated video of Yudhistira’s wayang story. The purpose of this study is to describe the principle of language politeness through the communication pattern of the Yudhistira puppet character based on an animated video. The method used in this study is free to engage in conversation. The data collection technique used a note-taking technique through direct observation of communication patterns and the principles of politeness in the language shown in the animated video of Yudistira’s wayang story. While the speech acts used are based on direct and indirect speech acts. The theory of politeness principles used in this study uses Leech’s theory which suggests six maxims. The results of this study indicate that the animated video of Yudhistira’s wayang story contains a firm communication pattern and four of the six maxims based on the Leech theory, namely wisdom, generosity, agreement, and sympathy. Then, there is a violation of the maxims in the animated video played by other characters, namely the maxims of wisdom, generosity, and sympathy. This research can be used as a reference for the wider community to apply language politeness in everyday life.
