Abstract

Asking for help is a common occurrence that happens either directly or indirectly. People use various strategies in asking for help. In this research, the writer analyzed request strategies that university students used in Line chats using by university students using Blum-Kulka’s theory. This study aimed to find out the kinds of syntactic and lexical downgraders and upgraders in Line chats. The participants in this study were students of a university in Central Java Semarang. The writer analyzed short messages containing requests for help via the Line chat application and found that the most commonly used strategies were downgraders. The writer also found that the downgrader strategy was dominant because students wanted to respect each other and understand the listener’s condition
