Abstract

To achieve the goal of effective communication, participants in a conversation must adhere to the cooperative principle. This study aims to examine the maxims of cooperative principle applied by the characters in an animated film that depicts differences in the characters' life backgrounds. The chosen film provides a rich context for exploring how language functions in characters’ interactions across cultural differences, thus this could be interesting to analyze in this topic.  This study employed a qualitative method. The data were obtained through observation and note-taking techniques. The observation method involved watching the Elemental movie on Disney+ Hotstar. The note-taking technique involved manually transcribing the script and categorizing the utterances, in accordance with Grice's (1975) theory of cooperative principle and Halliday and Hasan's (1985) context of situation. The discussion revealed that all four maxims of cooperative principle were found in the characters' utterances in the film. There were 42 maxims found in total, divided into four categories: 8 quantity maxims, 20 quality maxims, 7 relation maxims, and 7 manner maxims. A speaker still fulfills the maxim of manner, even if the utterance conveyed is not that brief, because the speaker is still in shock from what they have just experienced. The most frequently used maxim is quality, which indicates that the characters adhere to the truthfulness of information, whereas the least utilized maxims are relation and manner, which could be due to the diverse perspectives from each character's life backgrounds. This study shows that Elemental demonstrates clarity in communication is not only about grammatical accuracy; it involves emotional awareness and intentional expression. It enhances the nurtures mutual understanding across the differences among the Elemental characters and a good character development.

Abstract

The role of the host is directly tied to communication. The host needs to be able to get the information they need while still being polite. The purpose of this study is to determine how the tact maxim is applied and formulated as a politeness strategy. Note-taking and non-participant observation techniques were used to gather the data for this study, which can be found on the official Kick Andy YouTube channel and website. This study made application of Leech's (2014) politeness theory, which talks about tact maxims. According to the study's findings, the host of the 2019 Kick Andy talk show applied the tact maxim, one of the neg-politeness maxims, to lessen the amount of pressure placed on the guest. Declarative and interrogative structured utterances, interrogative utterance, subtle imperative, and conditional relationship clause are all used to realize the tact maxim. It can be concluded that the host can obtain sufficient information while remaining polite by implementing the tact maxim, which is a form of politeness. As a result, the interview goes well, and the host's questions don't burden the guest.

Abstract

This study analyses the use of theme and rhyme in the poem A Nocturnal Reverie by Anne Finch, Countess of Winchelsea. Using Systemic Functional Linguistics as a framework, the research examines the themes employed and their functions in conveying the poem's meaning and narrative flow. The study utilizes qualitative methods, analyzing the thematic structures in each clause of the 50-line poem. Findings reveal the prevalence of marked themes (21.52% of clauses), with topical, textual, and interpersonal themes identified. Simple and multiple themes are observed, along with marked and unmarked themes. Topical themes include participants, processes, and circumstances. Textual themes, primarily conjunctive, create logical links between clauses. No interpersonal themes were found. The analysis demonstrates how theme choices contribute to the poem's abstract imagery and ambiguous effects. Marked themes emphasize temporal settings and create contrast. The thematic patterns highlight the poem's narrative progression and the author's stylistic choices. This research provides insights into thematic structures in classical poetry, allowing comparison with modern literary works. The findings enhance understanding of how theme-rheme patterns shape poetic meaning and flow. This study contributes to the broader field of discourse analysis in literature by illuminating thematic devices in historical poetry.
