Abstract

This study aims to analyse Japanese utterances using Brown and Levinson’s politeness theory, with a particular focus on positive politeness strategies. The theories in pragmatics employed in this research centre on politeness strategies that are used to manage interpersonal relationships and social harmony in communication. This research adopted a qualitative approach and was conducted using a descriptive qualitative method to examine the occurrences and types of politeness strategies found in the selected message in Japanese chat platform. The findings revealed that positive politeness strategies are frequently employed, with 58 instances identified, indicating speakers’ efforts to express solidarity, reduce social distance, and create a sense of familiarity and attraction in interaction. These strategies are realized through various linguistic forms that emphasize shared understanding, approval, and involvement between interlocutors. The results suggest that positive politeness plays a significant role in shaping Japanese communicative practices, particularly in maintaining harmonious relationships while subtly negotiating social roles and expectations. This study contributes to pragmatic studies by highlighting how politeness strategies function within Japanese discourse and how they reflect cultural values embedded in language use.
