Introduction Politeness is a cultural phenomenon, so that what is considered polite by a culture (a certain place / region) is not the same with other cultures. The meaning of politeness reflects the cultural background of the speaker by orienting the belief system, the livelihood system, the relationship of intimacy, social stratification and the marriage system. Ramadan in the study of politeness in the school environment states, politeness has values that are very important to understand how society is formed and maintained through interaction (Afrianda, 2017: 4). While based on the opinion of Wardhaugh (1987: 267) stated that politeness of language is a language behaviour that takes into account of solidarity, power, intimacy, the status of relationships between participants, and appreciation. One cannot speak arbitrarily with anyone. The politeness of the language requires the attention of elements such as age, power, and so forth. People who have fulfilled the elements can only be said that they use politeness. The politeness of language is reflected in the procedure for communicating through verbal signs or language procedures. When communicating, people must obey cultural norms, not just convey ideas that are thought of. Therefore, the importance of politeness in speaking is considered and applied in the communication process. Some factors that make teaching German politeness are taught to students are the following explanation. First, cultural factors that are different from the mother tongue are used by students. Second, the time factor, in which the development of the times is increasingly growing which is supported by technology or media that exist today. Nowadays, many media or tools help students learn German. However, it is unfortunate that many students as foreign students, especially German, is contaminated with bad language. The film can be used as an audiovisual media in learning German, especially in studying the politeness of German authentically. The teacher can show the film to students then together discuss the politeness of what language is used in it. For this reason, the researcher is interested in analyzing and observing the politeness of language in movie as a source of data in this study, namely the movie of Toni Erdmann. The principle of politeness in the movie Toni Erdmann is examined using the maxims proposed by Leech, because the speech that occurs in the film Toni Erdmann is best investigated with politeness theory based on the maxims that exist in the theory. In communicating effectively, one needs to anticipate the production of impolite speech by paying attention to aspects of pragmatic language (Sumarlan and Sopyan Ali, 2017: 23). Leech explained that pragmatic activities include solving problems of communication that occur between speakers and speakers (Leech, 1993: 54). Therefore Leech describes the principle of politeness in language into six maxims as activities for problem solving, namely the maxim of wisdom or wisdom (generosity or acceptance) (generosity), maxim of praise or appreciation (approbation), maxim of humility or modesty, maxims of agreement or compatibility (agreement), and maxim of sympathy (Leech, 1993: 54). Maxim is the linguistic rules in the interaction of the lingua rules governing actions, the use of his language, and the interpretation of the actions and words of the interlocutor or speaker. In addition, the maxim is also referred to as a form of pragmatics based on the principle of cooperation and the principle of decency.

They are the researches conducted by Cahyadi, Ardika, and Yuliantini (2017) in his paper entitled The Application of Generosity Maxim: A Case study in Divergent Movie specifically revealed the generosity of acceptance in the Divergent film. The maxim of acceptance (generosity) is not widely applied in the film. It is found only a few sayings that contain the maxim. The factors that influence the application of the maxim in the Divergent film are gender and the context of the situation. The similarity of this research with research conducted by researchers is equally using Leech theory and research objects in the form of films to analyze research data. However, the research focus of the researchers was 6 maxims, while the research of Cahyadi et al was only one maxim. Other studies are done by Arnawa, Gunartha, and Sadwika (2017), entitled The Use of Modality Markers to Perform Hegemony Politeness in Using Balinese language: A Case Study on Awig-awig, revealed the use of modalities in Pakraman Awig-Awig villages that is not a syntactic target and grammatical semantics, but rather pragmatic requests for internal compliance. Internal person obedience is called hegemonic politeness. The use of capitalist markers is a linguistic instrument for inculcating hegemonic politeness to indigenous peoples in Bali. The similarity of this research with research conducted by researchers is equally discussing politeness or politeness in pragmatic studies to analyze research data. However, the difference between this study and the research used by researchers can be seen from the data taken. Arnawa’s research took data from samples taken by considering variants of Balinese dialect and local cultural differentiation. While researchers took data from the film's text. The other research by Reni, and Yeti Herawani in their research entitled Analysis of the Use of Language Politeness in My Father's Novel (Not) Liar of Tere Liye's work, revealed the six maxims of language politeness according to Leech, and one of the most widely used was the maxim of agreement which was 31 speech. It shows that the speaker and the interlocutor have maximized their agreement or compatibility (Reni, 2016). The similarity of this research with the research conducted by researchers is that both of them use Leech theory, while the difference lies in the object of research, that is the researchers use a movie. Journal of Applied Studies in Language, Volume 4 Issue 1 (Jun 2020), p. 79-89 p-issn 2598-4101 e-issn 2615-4706 © Politeknik Negeri Bali http://ojs.pnb.ac.id/index.php/JASL 82 Based on the description above, it is needed to examine politeness in language, so the researcher has formulated the focus and sub focus for research on "The Principle of Language Courage in Toni Erdmann's movie and its relevance in learning German at schools." 2. Method Toni Erdmann's movie was released in 2016 with the story of a father's sadness towards his daughter who had grown up and rarely returned to gather with her family because of her work. Winfried Conradi hadn't spent enough time with his daughter, Ines Conradi. That's because his daughter who was quite busy with her work so she seldom went home to gather with the family. One day, Winfried who was then living in Germany met his daughter who worked in Bucharest, Romania. In Bucharest, Winfried tried to get closer to his daughter. But his daughter kept busy with her work until she ignored his father. Winfried entered Ines's life by interfering Ines's work to make her daughter angry. A dispute ensued for several days until finally Ines asked his father to return to Germany. From the fragment of the film's story, the researcher realizes the importance of language politeness in communication and the difficulties experienced by students today and the application of polite language in daily life so that it is hoped that the use of film as an interesting learning medium can help students to understand the application of politeness in language. The research method used in this research is descriptive qualitative method. Descriptive method is a research method to make a picture of a situation or event, so that it is desirable to hold an accumulation of basic data. The selection of a descriptive qualitative research method is because this research is examining the politeness of the speech found in the dialogue of characters in Maroni Ade's Toni Erdmann movie. The researchers hold observations (dialogue by dialogue figures), filling in observational data, analyzing data, and conclusions. The data collected is in the form of qualitative data expressed in words and numbers. As a certainty for a situation the results of this study will contain a variety of data excerpts that are quotes from dialogue of characters to be described in terms of a comprehensive and interrelated study. Description of the analyzed data will be analyzed one by one. The data collection technique used is a free and involved listening technique and note taking technique. The object of this study is the movie Toni Erdmann. The researcher listened to the entire dialogue in the movie. The field notes used are descriptive and reflective notes. Data analysis performed in this research is heuristic analysis. Leech (Leech, 1993: 61), describes that heuristic analysis techniques attempt to identify the pragmatic power of a speech by formulating hypotheses and then testing it with available data. In heuristic analysis, the analysis begins with the problem, propositions, context background information, and the basic assumption that the speaker adheres to pragmatic principles, then the speech partner formulates the objective hypothesis of the speech. Based on the available data, the hypothesis is tested for its truth. If the hypothesis is appropriate, it means that the test is successful. However, if the test fails because the hypothesis does not match the reality, the researcher needs a new hypothesis and then the truth is tested again until an acceptable Journal of Applied Studies in Language, Volume 4 Issue 1 (Jun 2020), p. 79-89 p-issn 2598-4101 e-issn 2615-4706 © Politeknik Negeri Bali http://ojs.pnb.ac.id/index.php/JASL 83 hypothesis is obtained. The data analysis technique is carried out with the stages described through the following activities and steps as follows: (1) Listening to the whole dialogue of the characters and then record possible data which is a form of obedience to the principle of politeness in language in the film Toni Erdmann. (2) Analyzing using descriptive notes, reflective notes, and heuristic analysis, namely politeness analysis. (3) Identifying the utterances spoken by all figures that contain a form of politeness. (4) Classifying speech based on politeness maxims. (5) Drawing temporary conclusions. (6) Re-checking the data that has been obtained (verification). (7) Writing of final conclusions.

The expression of linguistic modesty marker whose intensity is mostly done in this film is an expression of danke (thank you), while the expression of linguistic modesty marker whose intensity is the least carried out in this film is an expression of bitte (please). (c) The relevance of German Language Learning in schools is that the curriculum 2013 that is being used in education in Indonesia today emphasizes the character of learners related to politeness. Well-spoken politeness can be implicated in learning German. The expected learning objective is done by differentiating the movie / drama. Students are expected to able to produce appropriate and polite dialogue both spoken and written. Students' understanding and knowledge of polite language can be increased if the teacher always directs and guides students to use of polite language. One way to teach students to know and understand polite language is to avoid boredom and provide motivation in learning activities 4.

It is found a speech that obeys the maxim of politeness utterance spoken by the characters in this movie. Speeches that use linguistic politeness are marked by expressions of politeness that are spoken by each character in the movie. Pragmatic politeness done by the characters is characterized by using declarative and interrogative utterances with various expressions. The discovery of these results is based on a speech made by all the characters in the movie Toni Erdmann by Maren Ade which lasts two hours 42 minutes. The following conclusions obtained in this study. All maxims of politeness were found in this study, namely wisdom maxim, generosity maxim, praise maxim, humility maxim, agreement maxim, and sympathy maxim. the total number of speeches using politeness maxim is 161. Linguistic politeness is characterized by the expression of politeness markers carried out by the characters in Maren Ade's Toni Erdmann film found in this study, namely speech that uses linguistic politeness expression entschuldigung (sorry), danke (thank you), bitte (please), schön (nice), komm mal (come on), sehr gut (very good). In the learning process, the politeness of the character's dialogue in Maren Ade's Toni Erdmann film can give implication in learning German at school. Based on the basic competencies in the 2013 curriculum in German subjects, there is learning about Journal of Applied Studies in Language, Volume 4 Issue 1 (Jun 2020), p. 79-89 p-issn 2598-4101 e-issn 2615-4706 © Politeknik Negeri Bali http://ojs.pnb.ac.id/index.php/JASL 89 distinguishing movie / drama texts and producing movie / drama texts. The learning objectives are after students can distinguish film / drama texts, students are able to produce drama texts both spoken and written. When the learning process takes place, politeness material can be linked in composing dialogue in the movie / drama text. By implying the politeness of Toni Erdmann's movie dialogue in learning, it is hoped that students will be able to use polite speech in their context. As a role model, every word that is spoken by teachers will be an example for students. A polite attitude can be demonstrated by body language, for example students shake hands when the teacher enters or exits the classroom. References Afrianda, P. D. (2017).
