This research is about the use of polite words as communication strategy in daily conversation: A study at Suela, East Lombok, where the original speakers are coming from Suela, Sembalun, Wanasaba, Suralaga, Dasan Lekong, all of which belong to East Lombok regency. This study investigated (1) the polite words used by Sasak at Suela as a communication strategy in daily conversation, (2) the way polite words served as communication strategies in daily conversation at Suela, and (3) the social factors which may cause dominant lingustic items used in their interaction. The study employed the use of polite words case by referring to the native speakers of Ngeto-Ngete dialect who reside at Suela village. The polite words or politeness theory always deals with the opinion Brown and Levinson in Wardhaugh (2006) divided human politeness behaviour in four strategies: the first is bald on-record strategies, the second is positive politeness, the third is negative politeness and the last is off record or indirect strategy. In this study, the techniques of collecting data are (1) observation, (2) recording, (3) indepth interview, and (4) questionnaire. For the purpose of data analysis, the researcher will use descriptive qualitative method to analyze the data. Based on the data analysis about the use of polite words as communication strategy at Suela East lombok, it can be concluded that: The word “ pelinggih”, “silaq”, “pe” and “tiyang” are the most dominant polite words which are usually used in communication by Suela people. There are some reasons which motivate respondents to use such polite words, such as people which are not from noble background at Suela say that they often hear such words from daily communication. Meanwhile people which are from noble background at Suela used polite words because they are accustomed to using such polite words since they were small kids in their noble family. One of the communication strategies which people use to achieve their communication goal is by using polite words. Most of respondents which are interviewed said that they use polite words to facilitate them to achieve their goal. The social function that polite words serve is that someone wants to be accepted and respected as an intelligent, mature person, successful and professional person. Someone also wants to be treated fairly and he/she wants to think you are treating them as you would treat other people. The last reason which influences the language choices in communication is the purpose of maintaining and expressing identity. The use of Pronominal clitics such as Pelinggih pe, pe, meq, da, bi no, ni in the examples above are once again possessive markers when they attach on noun. Pronominal clitics can be labeled as a word without its host. In the other words, it must be combined with another morpheme to form a word and it cannot stand alone on its own in the sentence. The use of Imperative, 2SG and 3SG Possesive adjective in Ngeto-ngete dialect at Suela village are influenced by the age, social status and the background of the interlocutors.
