Abstract

Politeness strategies are speech patterns employed in a conversation or debate to reduce face-threatening behaviors (FTA). The goal of this study is to identify the factors that influence Donald Trump and Joe Biden's good politeness strategies. Because it reveals information on the role of civility in communication and interpersonal relationships, the first presidential debate between Donald Trump and Joe Biden is a fascinating one to evaluate. Descriptive qualitative analysis is used in this study. In this study, 8 of the 15 positive politeness tactics were found to be used by Donald Trump and Joe Biden, and 2 factors were discovered that affected the employment of these strategies.
