Pragmatics is the study of language meaning, which includes the study of politeness. Politeness is an important aspect that reflects social values in communication between humans that every individual should possess. The purpose of this study is to identify acts of politeness and their relational patterns in the short story collection Cinta dalam 99 Nama-Mu by Asma Nadia. This study uses qualitative research. The research technique uses listening and note-taking techniques and data sources are obtained from excerpts from the short story collection using the theory of Brown and Levinson (1987). Meanwhile, data collection techniques include data reduction, classification, interpretation, and drawing conclusions. The way to interpret the data is by describing the politeness meaning of each utterance or dialogue in the short story and connecting it to the social context in the short story collection and drawing conclusions about the types of politeness and their relational patterns. The results of the data obtained in the study found 38 data on language politeness actions, including 2 bald on record politeness strategies, 17 positive politeness strategies, 1 negative politeness strategy, and 18 indirect acting strategies. Positive politeness strategies and indirect acting strategies are the most dominant because they maintain harmonious social ties that show attention, empathy, and reduce the threat to the face of the interlocutor. In addition, the politeness relationship pattern in this study is influenced by factors including 14 power factors, 16 social distance factors, and 21 levels of burden (ranking of imposition).
