Abstract
This study examines the phenomena of politeness and impoliteness in the dramatic dialogue of the American Drama, A Raisin in the Sun (1959) by Lorraine Hansberry, aiming to find out how character and plot development are revealed through the use of (im)politeness strategies, as proposed by Culpeper (1998). The study draws on the two models of Brown and Levinson (1987) and Culpeper (1996). Taking sociological and contextual factors into consideration, the study is an endeavour to reveal how fictional characters achieve their conversational goals and ulterior targets through the use of (im)politeness strategies. Further, the study is an attempt to identify the (im)politeness strategies used in the dramatic dialogue of the play, demonstrating how politeness and impoliteness strategies are used among close familial characters and with strangers. It also aims to show how politeness strategies can maintain social harmony and equilibrium and how impoliteness strategies can cause social disharmony and disequilibrium. The researcher analyses (im)politeness in thirty-four extracts; twenty-one extracts as regards politeness and thirteen extracts as regards impoliteness through using qualitative- quantitative approach.
