ABSTRACT

This study aims to analyze how criticism based on sociocultural value of Uchi-Soto. The data come from the anime and manga called 3-gatsu no Lion, which depicted the protagonist’s complex relationship with people around him and how the sociocultural relationship could influence the features of criticism which were represented in the manga. Criticizing Speech Acts are based on Nguyen’s (2013b) categories for criticizing speech act strategies and modifiers. The method used is descriptive qualitative method involving a note-taking technique. The results show that there are total of 118 lines that contain criticism and 111 lines which contain criticizing modifiers. The most frequent strategies used in Uchi group are direct criticisms and requests for changes, while Soto group more often uses hint strategies especially sarcasm. Supportive move is frequently used in Uchi group, indicating closeness; while internal modifier is frequently used in Soto group to maintain one’s mutual common ground and respect for the hearers.
