Abstract

This research is in the field of pragmatic study of speech acts, interpreted in a perlocutionary manner that contains the meaning of impoliteness. Research’s object is a novel titled Rosid and Delia by Ben Sohib with the background of the Betawi Community. Impoliteness refers to the Theory of Impoliteness proposed by Culpeper, and the type of speech refers to the classification made by Austin and Searle about speech acts, namely directive, assertive, expressive, commissive, and declarative, by interpreting them in perlocution way. Data in the form of speech acts of impoliteness were taken by the method of viewing and recording by content analysis. Furthermore, the data obtained is processed and analyzed and explained with a descriptive-qualitative approach. The results of the study found 275 speech or speech acts that indicated impoliteness, most of which were spread into 3 (three) impoliteness strategies, namely positive impoliteness, 24.4%, negative impoliteness, 56.4% and off record impoliteness, 19%. In these strategies, most of them are revealed in the types of directives, assertive, expressive, and commissive speech acts. Research shows that Theory of Impoliteness can be used as a reference to assess impolite acts, with special notes, in interaction activities against the background of Indonesian culture.
