Be courteous reflects a clear heart that demonstrates polite behavior and the
use of language that does not offend the listeners. If language politeness is
not used, the society will give negative judgement towards the speaking
party. Today it is found that there are a handful of young people who act
rudely in communication. This situation is no exception among university
students who are known as educated people. In this regard, this paper will examine the practice of this language politeness for this group of students
based on the language used. The approach of the study is to apply the use
of descriptive analysis method on the data obtained. Practice of language
politeness will be seen based on the use of elements of euphemism by
examining its relation to sociolinguistic aspect and its implications on
language politeness. Euphemism not only gives a smoother picture over the
language used but also provides a more positive view to the users of the
language itself.
