Introduction
According to Chaer (2010), a language is a group of people who often use random
sound symbols to communicate with each other. However, Masinambouw (1998)
emphasized that a language is a tool for communicating with others. Kridalaksana (2013)
stated language is an arbitrary sound-symbol system that is used by a group of people to
work together, communicate, and identify themselves. The conclusion from the three
opinions before is that language is a set of arbitrary sound symbols that people use to
communicate with each other by expressing ideas, opinions, thoughts, or feelings. The
function of language is divided into three functions, namely ideational is a tool for conveying
messages, interpersonal is a tool for expressing attitudes by speakers to their interlocutors,
and textual is a tool for composing an implied message (Halliday & Webster, 2003).
According to Yusuf (2021), communication is a process of creating meaning
conveyed by two or more people. Based on the explanation above, communication is a way
to convey information carried out by several people, such as ideas and opinions for other
parties, including one party or group. Additionally, Leech (1993) stated pragmatics is a
science that studies meaning and how it relates to situations when speaking. Meanwhile,
according to Yule (2006), pragmatics is a study that relates to branches of linguistics and
language forms. Based on the two explanations presented by the two experts above,
pragmatics is a branch of linguistics related to communication between speakers and
interlocutors. These speakers use language effectively when speaking. Chaer (2010) stated a
speech act is an utterance given by a speaker to convey a message implied through a situation
that has been experienced by the speaker. Therefore, a speech act is an utterance that is
expressed by a speaker and an interlocutor to convey a message and a situation that has been
experienced by the speaker.
According to Fraser (1990), language politeness is a quality associated with
communication. In this case, the interlocutor believes that the speaker does not exceed his
rights or refuses to carry out his obligations. Based on the explanation above, politeness is
utterance or good behavior by the speaker in interacting with the interlocutor. It is this
manner of speaking that stands out as seen from the quality of the personality of the person
speaking because the better and more polite the person speaking is considered a person who
has good ethics or personality and vice versa. Politeness is not only seen in speech and
behavior when speaking but also seen from intonation when speaking.
Language politeness has an essential role in a person's personality development,
especially in early childhood when the child is still in the process of self-development,
attitudes, and character. In everyday life, humans who use polite language are often referred
to as humans who have high ethics by using smooth and polite language when speaking, low
intonation when speaking, and good behavior when speaking both as a speaker and as a
speech partner. Vice versa, if the speaker uses language that is rude or not good, uses high
intonation, and his behavior when speaking is not good, the speaker can be called someone
with an impolite personality. Therefore, language politeness is essential for life in society, as
well as in the family environment.
According to Lestari (2012), a family is a household that is related by blood or

marriage which provides the implementation of instrumental functions as well as expressive
functions of the family for its members who are in one network. Based on the explanation
above, the role of the family is the implementation of rights and obligations in a household
that contains fathers, mothers, and children who have their respective duties. In general,
polite language is good for communication because it can reflect the speaker’s personality
when spoken. Language politeness should be taught from an early age through the family
environment and in the surrounding. The family has an essential role because this family is
the first benchmark for children to get early teaching from their parents so that a polite
personality can be formed. Conversely, if the teaching from parents is not good in speech or
attitude, the child will imitate it. Based on the results of the observations, researchers feel
interested in choosing the topic the “Phenomenon of Language Behavior of Parents and
Children: Cases of Politeness in Language as a Form of Education in the Family”, because
researchers find problems that researchers will solve thoroughly. Initial data on the principle
of language politeness that researchers have obtained from conversations between parents
and early childhood in the family environment, namely:
 Sister: Mom, sister put on a new hair clip.
 Mother: Wow, you look very pretty when you wear this new clip.
The speech between a child and her mother includes the principle of politeness in the maxim
of generosity because, for this reason, the maxim of generosity has the principle of
maximizing respect for others and minimizing disrespect for others, Leech (1993). The
language politeness that will be studied by researchers is a conversation between a parent and
four years old child, with the initial 'Z' in the family of the father with the initial 'I', and the
mother with the initial 'N' in the family environment. This research used Leech’s (1993)
theory because this theory is considered the most established, the most relevant, the most
complete, and the most perfect of the other theories. Therefore, researchers feel interested
in using a theory to complete this research. The principle of politeness, in Leech (1993)
consists of the maxim of wisdom, acceptance, generosity, humility, compatibility, and
sympathy. Based on the background described above, the formulation of the research
problem is: (1) how do the principles of language politeness form between parents and early
childhood in the family environment I and N? and (2) how do parents instill language
politeness to early childhood in the family environment I and N? The purposes of this
research are: (1) to describe the form of politeness principles between parents and young
children in the family environment I and N, and (2) to describe how parents instill language
politeness in early childhood in the family environment I and N. The novelty in this research
is the maxim of politeness obtained through speech between parents and children in a family
environment as a form of education in the family.
Methodology
Research design, site, and participants
This research method is descriptive qualitative with a case study because it will focus
on a case (Creswell, 2016). The data in this research were primary data. This research is like
observation or prior observation of phenomena in the I and N family environment that
would be observed. After the observation, the researcher records the conversations between
parents and early childhood and records the results of the recorded conversations related to
the formulation of the research problem so that researchers get a speech that contains the
principles of language politeness, and the way parents instill language politeness in early
childhood in the I and N family environment.
Data sources and time of research
In collecting data, first, the researcher made observations for a few days. After the
observation, the researcher started recording a conversation between parents and early
childhood when they were interacting, whether they were playing, drawing, singing, or
counting. Then, the researcher recorded the speech in the recorded conversation, which
contained the form of politeness principles (Leech, 1993) and how parents instill language
politeness in these early childhoods. The object of this research is the speech between
parents and four years old children. The child's initial is Z.

Data collection techniques
This research is qualitative with a case study approach (Creswell, 2016). For data
collection, the researchers used observation, recording, and note-taking techniques. The
observations are to determine the speech between parents and early childhood in the family
environment. Furthermore, the researchers recorded a speech between parents and early
childhood when they were carrying out interactions related to forms of politeness principles,
as well as how parents instill politeness in early childhood.
The final step is the note-taking technique. In this technique, the researchers
recorded the results of the recordings. This technique is to make the researchers easier to
determine the recording results that contain the form of politeness principles and how
parents instill language politeness.
Data analysis techniques
According to (Creswell, 2016), the data analysis techniques in this research will be
arranged chronologically and categorically based on the data collection. The steps for
qualitative data analysis are in the form of an identification stage by collecting data or
information in advance related to the problem discussed. The second step of classification is
grouping the problem. It will be thoroughly discussed in the research. The third step of
interpretation is reinterpreting the data that has been obtained by researchers related to the
form of language politeness principles and how parents instill language politeness in early
childhood. The last step is reporting. At this stage, the researcher writes down the results of
the data analysis that has been obtained by the researcher relating to the form of politeness
principles and the way parents instill language politeness.
Findings
The research results were presented based on observations, records, and notes that
had been carried out by researchers in the family environment I and N to a four-year-old
child with the initial Z. It did not change the data obtained from the research object at all.
This research was presented using a qualitative method with the theory of Leech (1993).
When it is compared with previous research by Apriliani (2019), the difference is that
previous research examined the form of children's language politeness based on learning
interactions in PAUD and wants to know the teacher's language politeness based on
language politeness in learning interactions in PAUD. Hamzah et al. (2011) stated that
language politeness is essential for the school environment and family. Ningrum et al. (2019)
explained politeness in language can be studied using politeness principles to see the level of
politeness in language with the politeness principles in student discussion activities.
Figure 1. Mother’s interaction with her child
Principles of politeness in language
The following describes the speech between parents and early childhood related to
the form of language politeness principles (Leech, 1993) consisting of six forms of language
politeness principles, such as the maxim of wisdom, generosity, acceptance, humility,
agreement, and sympathy (Hermawan, 2018). Furthermore, Widodo et al. (2022) also put
forward the six principles of language politeness. The findings obtained in this research are
as follows:
The maxim of wisdom
The maxim of wisdom is a maxim that maximizes benefits for others and minimizes
losses for others. Pradnyani et al. (2019), in their research, studied politeness in language
with politeness maxims. The findings in this research are that families I and N have a form
of language politeness principles related to tact maxims, which are spoken by parents to early
childhood with the initial Z as follows,
N: "Little brother, don't run, you'll fall!"

Z: “Yes, Mother”
N: “Yeah, just walk.”
The conversation above was said by N to Z in the afternoon, the utterance belongs to the
maxim of wisdom, because N adds an advantage to Z, so that Z does not run around which
results in injury (Norhidayah, 2018) in the utterance "Sister, don't run, you will fall !”
N: "Little brother, what are you eating?"

Z: "Eat cotton candy Mother."
N: "Don't eat this often, Sis, your teeth will hurt."
Z: "The cotton candy is not hard."
N: "Even though it's not hard Sis, there's sugar in it that can make cavities later.
Just this one time, okay?”
Z: "Yes Mother."
The conversation above was spoken by N and Z while eating cotton candy. This utterance
belongs to the maxim of wisdom because N maximizes the benefits of Z not eating cotton
candy too often because cotton candy can cause cavities, the utterance "Don't eat cotton
candy too often" eat this often, Sis, later the teeth will hurt and even though it's not hard Sis,
there's sugar that can make cavities later. Just this one time, okay?”
Z: "Father, you can pick it up."

I: "Heavy but sis."
Z: “Just a little yeah.”
I: "Later your body will get dirty."
The conversation above was spoken by I and Z when I was working. This utterance belongs
to the maxim of wisdom because I add an advantage to Z not helping him at work. After all,
later Z's body will get dirty in the utterance "later your body will get dirty."
N: "Why are you crying, Son?"

Z: “Want to play there, Mother.”
N: "Don't cry anymore, play there but don't go far okay..."
The conversation above was spoken by N and Z in the afternoon. This utterance belongs to
the maxim of wisdom, with the reason that because N maximizes profits for Z, to go to
another alley to play, in the utterance "don't cry anymore, play there but don't go far okay..."
N: "Sister, what are you playing?"

Z: “Play Lato-Lato.”
N: "Don't be so loud, play the Lato-Lato, you'll get hit in the head."
Z: "Yes."
The conversation above was spoken by N and Z in the afternoon when Z was playing. This
utterance belongs to the maxim of wisdom because N maximizes profits for Z, so he does
not play the Lato-Lato loudly in an utterance "Don't be loud, play the Lato-Lato, you'll get hit
in the head."
Acceptance maxim
The maxim of acceptance is a maxim that maximizes losses for oneself and
minimizes gains for oneself. In families I and N, there are forms of language politeness
principles related to acceptance, which is spoken by parents to early childhood with the
initials Z, as follows,
Z: "Mother, want to carry."

N: "Come here, Mother, carry it. This Mother's child is very heavy."
As spoken by N, when Z wants to ask to be carried in the afternoon, this utterance belongs
to the maxim of acceptance because N maximizes the loss for himself and minimizes the
benefit for himself in the utterance "come here, Mother, carry it. This mother's child is very
heavy."
Z: "Mother, you want the red ones."

N: "Which one, Sis?"
Z: “That one Mother.”
N: "Yes, take it later Mother will buy it."

acceptance because I is maximizing losses for himself by complying with Z's wish to buy
Lato-Lato, in an utterance "Yes, what color do you want to choose?"
Z: "Mum, want ice cream."

N: "What do you want to taste? Just choose, later you will buy it, right?”
Spoken by N and Z, in the afternoon when they were at the shop. This utterance belongs to
the maxim of acceptance because N maximizes losses for himself by complying with Z’s
wish to buy ice cream in an utterance "what do you want to taste? just choose, later mother

N: "Can you play it?"
Z: "Yes."
N: "Come on, let's play, don't forget to wear sandals, Ok?"
Spoken by N and Z in the afternoon when Z wants to play with claw dolls. This utterance
belongs to the maxim of acceptance because N obeyed Z's wish to play claw dolls, and N
paid for the game in an utterance "let's play, don't forget to wear sandals okay..."
Generosity maxim
The generosity maxim is a maxim that maximizes respect for others and minimizes
disrespect for others. This speech is considered polite when a speaker throws a good speech
to the interlocutor and does not offend other people. In families I and N, there is a form of
politeness principle related to the maxim of generosity, which is spoken to early childhood
with the initials Z, as follows,
I: "Sister, do you remember not praying for food?"

Z: “Still Father.”
I: "Which try, I want to hear."
Z: "Bismillahirahmannnirahhim, Allahumma baarik lanaa fiimaa razaqtana wa qina
'adzaa Bannaar.”
I: "Wow, you're so smart, Father's son."
Z: "Thanks, Father."
I: “You're welcome.”

Z: “Red, green, yellow, blue.”
N: "Wow, your child is very smart and can already name the colors of the rainbow."
Spoken by N and Z after taking a bath in the afternoon. This utterance belongs to the
maxim of generosity because N maximizes respect for Z by praising Z's intelligence for
mentioning the colors of the rainbow in the utterance "Wow, your mother's child is so smart

because N maximizes his sympathy for Z to hold on to I in an utterance "sister, hold on to
your father and be careful on the road".
Discussion
The way for parents to instill politeness in this language to young children in families
I and N is to direct the child, speak words with soft intonation, and apply the words “thank
you, please, and sorry” according to the situation. In families I and N, parents set a good
example for their children so that children imitate the teachings and examples of parents to
children, so they become good personalities and have high politeness ethics. Furthermore,
the parents in the I and N families provide an understanding related to language politeness.
Similar to Anggraini et al. (2019) and Hartini and AR (2017), politeness has principles, forms
of obedience, and violations of politeness, Wulansafitri and Syaifudin (2020) also described
that politeness has forms of compliance and violations of politeness and implicatures that
arise in utterances.
The novelty in this research is the maxim of politeness obtained through speech
between parents and children in a family environment. These findings can be used as
reference material for language politeness material, as well as techniques or methods in
educating children through politeness maxims used by the informants of this research.
Children must be directed to become good personalities according to the teachings of their
parents. However, children must also be given an understanding related to language
politeness, and good speech when speaking. It is because language politeness behavior in the
family environment will also affect children's language behavior.
Researchers have limitations in conducting research, which are limited to the number
of utterances that are the source of research data, so the research results have been able to
represent the findings of the principle of language politeness in the family environment. It is
because this research checks the validity of the data obtained. Check the validity of the data
by a credibility test with a member check, transferability test, and confirmability test by
re-checking the data that has been obtained from the source.
Conclusion
The form of politeness principles used by researchers in this research is Leech's

theory (Leech, 1993), which consists of six forms of politeness principles, namely the maxim
of wisdom, generosity, acceptance, modesty, agreement, and sympathy, with each having five
utterances in every form of politeness principle. In this research, there are forms of language
politeness principles between parents and early childhood from various interactions, whether
playing, drawing, singing, or counting, which fulfill the six forms of language politeness
principles. The application of language politeness must be applied to children as early as
possible. Children must be directed to become good personalities according to the teachings
of their parents. However, children must also be given an understanding related to language
politeness and good speech when speaking. It is because language politeness behavior in the
family environment will also affect children's language behavior.
