Abstract

Communication happens when two people or more interact verbally. To make communication run smoothly, people must pay attention to communication principles, namely cooperation and politeness principles. However, sometimes these communication principles are intentionally violated, especially for creating humor purposes. This study aimed to analyze the types of politeness principles violation found in Mind Your Language comedy series, and the effect of these politeness principles violation towards the characters in Mind Your Language comedy series. This study used a qualitative approach, using descriptive qualitative research design. The instrument of the study was the video of Mind Your Language comedy series. In addition, in collecting the data, the scripts and the video of Mind Your Language comedy series from episodes 1-5 were used. The findings show there were six types of politeness principles violation consisting of six maxims: tact maxim, generosity maxim, approbation maxim, modesty maxim, agreement maxim, and sympathy maxim. In addition, the politeness principles violation in Mind Your Language comedy series has fourteen effects, namely curious, confused, trusted, angry, annoyed, shy, shocked, panic, happy, bored, enthusiastic, laugh, disappointed, and strange. These findings imply that languages used in a certain context may have different meaning, and therefore students of English Language Education should be aware about such situation. Therefore, teaching foreign languages should also include not only semantics but also pragmatics.
