Abstract

This study aims to analyze flouting maxims in the novel The Christmas Pig by J.K. Rowling focusing on identifying their types based on Grice’s Cooperative Principle and their functions based on Searle’s speech act theory. This research employs a descriptive qualitative method. The data are in the form of dialogues that contain flouting maxims found in the novel. The findings reveal that all types of flouting maxims are found in the novel. They include maxim of quality, quantity, relation, and manner. In terms of the functions, the flouting maxims show only four speech act categories, namely assertive, directive, commissive, and expressive. Declarative function is not found in the data, indicating that flouting maxims in this novel are not used to create direct changes in social or institutional contexts..
