“…Based on this, it is suspected that the speech partner can be polite in the language, of course, the speaker who starts the conversation must be polite in the language first. Salom and Monreal's findings support the statement [7] that he found that the use of language is immodest and has a terrible effect on public discourse which is vital for a person who is full of democratic considerations. It also formed disputes in comments posted on the news.…”

“…The vast majority of studies concerned with the use of pronouns in political contexts examined a variety of offline contexts, whereas increasingly important online communication has received little attention. A recent study by Coesemans and De Cock (2017) presents the first important contribution to our understanding of the use of pronominal references in the context of political microblogging. Studying tweets produced by Belgian and Spanish politicians during the 2014 European elections campaign, the authors identify several communicative practices that politicians adopt and adapt in order to increase their online visibility and influence.…”

“…Despite the significance of Twitter in political campaigning (Papacharissi 2015;Jungherr 2014), linguistic practices of networked bonding around political issues have to date received less attention (but see Coesemans and De Cock 2017;Sadler 2017). Linguistic devices for identity construction in political communication, specifically devices such as personal pronouns and metaphors used to construct in-and out-groups, have been extensively investigated under the methodological umbrella of Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA), but most of this research has been concerned with offline texts and practices (Musolff 2015;Baker et al 2008;Charteris-Black 2004;Wodak et al 1999).…”

“…The broadcastability and accessibility of Twitter allows for communication with large audiences in a short spell of time without any delays caused by editorial boards or other authoritarian bodies. At the same time, the word limit of 140 characters (increased to 280 in 2017) requires users to use this space economically, condensing tweets into key messages (Coesemans and De Cock 2017). The shortness of messages and their mostly episodic, bullet point-like style (chronicling of events and sharing information) (Humphreys et al 2013) means that the typical cohesive flow of written texts established through the use of anaphora and cataphora is absent.…”

This study explores the use of personal pronouns in the context of political agitation on Twitter in the run-up to the EU referendum 2016. Using a combination of corpus linguistic and discourse analytical techniques, it shows notable differences in the way in which personal pronouns were employed by Leavers and Remainers. In particular, we emerged as a significant factor distinguishing the online rhetoric of the two camps with Leavers using we more often and in a much more versatile manner. This study contributes to the growing body of research on ambient affiliations in political communication offering insights into the ways in which personal pronouns are strategically deployed to create imagined collectives for the purpose of political bonding and agitation online.

“…This is evidenced by several research results, including [8] explaining that the many uses of language that are not polite and cause terrible effects on public discourse that are vital for someone full of democratic considerations. [9] in his research shows that to express the identity of politicians not only use first-person pronouns but also use Twitter handles, hashtag nouns or proper nouns, referring themselves to third people. The same thing is also done in Indonesia, [10] in his research results are in three levels, namely the comments of politicians at the level of 'impolite', at the level of 'impolite', and in the position of 'polite'.…”

Presidential and vice-presidential elections invite a lot of public attention, especially in the media expressed by the two different teams. Therefore, this research tries to see a form that replaces the principle of politeness in the speech of the National Campaign Teams and the National Candidate Body for Indonesia's 2019 presidential and vice-presidential candidates in a polemic on the online news portal. This study uses qualitative considerations with descriptive methods. Analyzing data uses Miles and Huberman's theory with three hi: reducing data, presenting data, and drawing conclusions. The results of the research show that who are more dominant politicians oppose the principles of politeness for the progress of others or the intended parties. Violation of the politeness principle occurs in six maxims. Of the six maxims in the politeness principle, the most violated are the maxims of praise and the least violated are the maxims of generosity and generosity..
