Adab and Humanities Faculty, State Islamic University Syarif Hidayatullah Jakarta, 2015. In this research, the writer concerns with linguistic politeness study based on the Brown and Levinson‟s theory of politeness, that is, the positive and negative politeness strategies in Desi Anwar‟s interview with Mark Rutte broadcasted on January 18, 2014. This is a qualitative research aimed to find the positive and negative politeness strategies in minimizing the potential face‟s threat on interlocutor‟s face based on the sociological variables (power, distance and imposition) in a communication. As qualitative research, this thesis is conducted through several steps. The writer watches the video and its script, marks FTA, finds positive and negative politeness strategies, classifies and selects them based on Brown and Levinson‟s theory of politeness. The writer finds how the notion of politeness is applicable in communication. In this interview, the participants prefer to employ positive politeness strategy to negative politeness strategy. It is quite considerable since the interview is regarding to bilateral relations. The interactants need to treat one another as close friends. Desi employs more negative politeness strategies than Rutte does. It is suitable to the notion of politeness where a powerless participant needs to be polite to a powerful participant. However, Desi and Rutte will differ in empolying the strategies because they have different occupations, roles and social backgrounds. Their relative power, social distance and rating of imposition influence the choices of their strategy. As conclusion, positive and negative politeness strategies are the ways to use a language politely in which power, social distance and rating of imposition determine the level of politeness.
