Abstract :
The objectives of this research are to analyse positive politeness strategies and the factors influencing the use of positive politeness strategies in the Kids Meet videos used by twins (Ethan and Helena) and the guests at the program. This research is conducted using a qualitative approach and descriptive qualitative method, and the object of research is 9 videos of Kids Meet on the HiHo Kids YouTube channel, which are presented from 2018 to 2020 by twins (Ethan and Helena). The utterances of the twins (Ethan and Helena) and the guests in the Kids Meet videos while talking are used as data for this research. Based on the analysis, it is found that 18 utterances of twins (Ethan and Helena) and 27 utterances of guests from 9 videos of Kids Meet used positive politeness strategies, and there are 3 factors influencing them to use positive politeness strategies; those are payoffs, social distance, and ranking of imposition. From this research, it can be concluded that positive politeness strategies are used as conversation starters with someone when we do not want to make a bad first impression and to minimize the distance between the speaker and the interlocutors by satisfying the interlocutor's desire to be appreciated. Adults use positive politeness strategies more often in a conversation than children. The considerable age gap and the difference in professional backgrounds between the twins (Ethan and Helena) and the guests on Kids Meet do not limit the use of politeness strategies in their utterances in conversation.
