Abstract

This research examines the politeness principle in Korean dramas. The aim of this study is to identify the forms of maxim violation in the Korean drama Move to Heaven. A qualitative methodology was utilized, and the data were analysed using the politeness principle by Leech’s (1993) theory and supported by the Korean speech level system established by the National Institute of Korean Language (2005). The findings reveal the presence of eight utterances that violate four maxims: three utterances violates the approbation maxim, one utterance violates the modesty maxim, three utterances violate the agreement maxim, and one utterance violates the sympathy maxim.  The approbation maxim is violated through negative words that criticize others. The modesty maxim is violated through excessive self-praise. The agreement maxim is violated through firm refusals without any effort to compromise. And the sympathy maxim is violated through utterances that show no sympathy for others. Moreover, these findings imply that politeness principle in the Korean Language is not strictly determined by grammatical forms and speech levels, but is also influenced by the context, social relations, and communicative goals underlying an utterance.
