  • 1.    Introduction

Language is a tool of communication. Based on Lyons’s view, Hakim (2018) language are the principal systems of communication used by particular groups of human beings within the particular society of which they are members. Especially Lyons points out that, language is the best communicative system of human beings by particular social groups. Simply put, in order to study a language you must understand about the field which is called pragmatics.

Pragmatics derives from the word "pragma" in Greek which means "action". Accroding to Koizumi (2001:4) quoted by Puspitaningrum (2017:1), “Pragmatics is a field of linguistics that studies the meaning produced by utterances and the situation in which utterances occurs and its function, which is related to the relationship between the speaker and the interlocutor”. Based on Levinson's view, Zamzani, (2007: 20) concluded that pragmatic studies are related to linguistics which intersect with syntax and semantics. Pragmatics limits its study to the use of language that is not separated from its context.

Mandailingnese is a part of batak tribe. According to Tuuk as a Dutch anthropologist, group them into six part tribes, such as Simalungunese, Pakpaknese, Karonese, Angkola, Toba, and also Mandailingnese. This six sub-part tribes of Batak have different language whether in phonology (pronunciation), morphology (structure) and semantics (language meaning) and mandailing is one of the tribes that are mostly found in North Sumatra Province. This tribe has its own blood ties, social system, lineage, language, script, arts, customs and own habits which are different from Batak and Malay. Using Mandailing language in daily communication is a symbol of Identity Mandailing tribe.

Politeness is an important aspect of measuring polite because it is a characteristic of a person's personality. One aspect of measuring language politeness is the usage of personal subject pronouns. Local languages such as mandailing language have personal subject pronouns which

function to avoid misunderstandings due to mis-use of personal subject pronouns that are not in accordance with the etiquette and politeness of the speaker.

The following types of personal subject pronouns here are the most use in conversation and as the depiction of phenomena that occur in daily life of Mandailing people in Medan:

HoKamu’ (You)

MuKamu’ (You)

AmuKalian’ (You)

HamuKalian’ (You)

These Personal Subject Pronouns have different functions, but sometimes they have the same position. For example, Personal Subject Pronouns Ho (you) is use by a speaker when the other person is equal or younger than the speaker, sentence example “Madung mangan ma ho? (Have you eaten already?)”, but Mu (you) also used for the older individual(s) than the speaker and it is more polite, sentence example “Son aha kabarmu? (How are you?)”, Personal Subject Pronouns Amu (you) used by speaker when the group of people is younger, sentence example “Tujia amu margandak? (Where are you dating?)”, meanwhile Hamu (you) is used for the group of people that older than speaker, sentence example “Marga aha do hamu? (What are your surnames?)”.

The mixed use of pronouns in Mandailing and Indonesia language does not affect the politeness level of the speaker if it is addressed to the right speaker, but on the other hand, the speaker is considered not to know the customs and ethics in social life if the use of pronouns is misguided. Researcher believe that to ensure that pronouns are directed to the right interlocutor need several parameters such as Gender, Age, Situation, and familiarity are very influential in this regard. Therefore, researcher want to know whether Mandailing pronouns affect the level of politeness, so researcher are interested in conducting research that focuses on analyzing politeness in the use of mandailing pronouns in Medan, Lingkungan Kelurahan Bantan Timur.

Wardhaugh (2015:256), states in reference to Brown and Levinson's work: "Positive politeness leads to the achievement of solidarity through offers of friendship, the use of compliments, and informal language use: we treat others as allies and friends, never threaten their face, and do not impose on them."

According to the classifications and definitions, politeness is the way a specific expression is used between speakers, it marks the relationship of the first person and the interlocutors, and the connection may bring positive or negative politeness. Politeness is traditionally associated with certain linguistic forms and formulaic expressions, which can vary greatly across cultures and languages. According to Leech (2014:21), politeness serves two functional: the first is social, and the second is essentially psychological. According to Brown and Levinson (1987:79), there are three factors of politeness:

  • 1.    Social distance of the speaker and the hearer are determined by four parameters: gender, age, situation, and familiarity. 2. Asymmetrical relation power between the speaker and hearer (parties).

  • 3.    The imposition absolute ranking in the particular culture, such as imposing act like requests demand more redress in order to reduce the increasing threat level.

  • 2.    Personal Pronouns
