Abstract

This study investigates how conversational implicature and the flouting of Grice’s cooperative maxims are embedded in the lyrics of the American rock band Audioslave. Drawing on pragmatic theory, the research aims to identify how implicit meanings are constructed through non-literal expressions in song lyrics. A qualitative descriptive method was applied to twenty-five lyric lines selected from five songs which are Like a Stone, I Am the Highway, Show Me How to Live, Shadow on the Sun, and Be Yourself. The analysis shows that the Maxim of Quality is most frequently flouted, followed by the Maxims of Manner, Quantity, and Relation. These floutings manifest through metaphor, ambiguity, and symbolic imagery that require listeners to interpret meanings inferentially. Interpreting maxim violations in lyrics demonstrates that even non-dialogic texts operate according to pragmatic principles, revealing how musicians strategically use figurative language to communicate emotional, existential, and philosophical themes. By applying Gricean theory to musical discourse, this study expands the scope of pragmatics beyond spoken interaction and demonstrates how song lyrics function as intentional communicative acts that convey layered meaning through implicature. The findings contribute to a deeper understanding of how listeners derive interpretation from artistic language and highlight the value of pragmatic analysis in music studies.

Abstract

This study examines the application of positive politeness methods in the YouTube comment area of Kendrick Lamar’s "Money Trees" music video, grounded in Brown and Levinson’s (1987) Politeness Theory. The study used a qualitative descriptive methodology to investigate the ways in which viewers convey admiration, emotion, and social connection in digital interactions. The data were collected from specific YouTube comments utilizing Sudaryanto’s (2015) observational method and were examined pragmatically. The findings indicate that commenters employ four categories of positive politeness strategies: Exaggerate (Interest, Approval, or Sympathy), Notice and Attend to the Hearer, Presuppose, Assert, or Raise Common Ground, and Intensify Interest to the Hearer. The Exaggerate technique is the most common of these, which means that fans often use over-the-top and passionate language to indicate how much they love the singer and the music. The employment of these tactics shows how language in digital spaces may bring people together, make them feel closer to each other, and make the online community more courteous and helpful. This study verifies that positive politeness is crucial in sustaining peaceful interactions within YouTube-based communication.

Abstract

This study comprehensively investigates the phenomenon of conversational implicature within the popular podcast Conan O’Brien Needs a Friend and examines in depth its crucial role in constructing humour through dynamic and pragmatic interaction between the host and his guests. Employing a descriptive qualitative approach, the research carefully analyse a selection of podcast transcripts featuring natural conversations among Conan O’Brien and various celebrity guests, capturing spontaneous and unscripted moments of humour. The data were systematically collected through purposive sampling, with a specific focus on excerpts that exemplify the violation or deliberate flouting of Grice’s Cooperative Principle and its four conversational maxims Quantity, Quality, Relation, and Manner. The analysis is theoretically grounded in the works of (Grice, 1975), (Yule, 2005), (Brown et al., 1987), (Kotthoff, 1998), and (Mabaquiao, 2018), providing a strong foundation for understanding how implicature and speech acts interact to create humorous meaning within authentic discourse. The findings indicate humour in the podcast primarily emerges from intentional maxim violations that generate irony, exaggeration, absurdity, and incongruity, with implicatures interpreted through shared cultural assumptions and contextual understanding. Furthermore, various speech acts, including teasing, complimenting, joking, and self-deprecating humour, enrich the interaction and strengthen its overall comedic impact. This research ultimately underscores the essential function of conversational implicature in humorous discourse and significantly contributes to the broader study of pragmatics in spontaneous spoken media. The results provide valuable pedagogical insights for English language teaching, especially in developing learners’ pragmatic competence, sociolinguistic awareness, and ability to engage in authentic, natural communication.
