In this study, qualitative research methodologies were employed to produce an analysis, which was then either written or illustrated. According to the findings of this research, both the host and the guest star utilized four distinct sorts of politeness strategies when delivering their respective utterances. These strategies included off-record, bald on-record, positive politeness, and negative politeness respectively. Payoffs and circumstances were among the other elements that had a role in shaping their statements. During the course of the interview, the type of politeness strategy that was most used is positive politeness. In addition, the factors that most influenced them were payoffs and social distance factorsReferences
