Based on the results of the study, the conclusions of this study are as follows. (1) At the lexical level, there are still many deviations in the use of politeness in Talango Port, mainly by boatmen to traders and passengers who are routine and very familiar. (2) At the phrase level there are still deviations, especially those committed by boatmen to traders and passengers who are routine and very familiar. (3) At the sentence level there are still deviations. This happens because of the original nature that really likes to use language that is not polite to those who are routine and familiar.
