Abstract

This study aims to identify and categorize types of violations of Grice's maxims in the children's book Coraline, written by Neil Gaiman in 2008. A qualitative descriptive method was used to analyze the data, using the basic theories of Paul Grice (1989), White (1990), and George Yule (1996). The data consisted of 17 dialogues from the novel Coraline. Paul Grice identified that the cooperative principle has four maxims, namely quantity, quality, relation, and manner. This study focused on violations in the non-observance category. The researcher found that violations of the maxim of quantity were more dominant, followed by the maxims of manner, relation, and quality. This emphasizes that the novel Coraline has long-winded dialogues that contrast sharply with the lack of important information at times of increasing tension.

Abstract

 This study investigates the non-observance of Grice’s Cooperative Principle in an interview with Indonesian politician Gibran Rakabuming Raka, focusing on how maxim flouting functions as a pragmatic strategy in political communication. Using a qualitative approach, a publicly available interview video was selected, repeatedly viewed, and fully transcribed. The data were identified and categorized according to Grice’s four maxims quantity, quality, relevance, and manner and each instance was analyzed to uncover its conversational implicature by considering situational context, speaker intention, and shared knowledge between speaker and interviewer. The findings indicate that the dominant pattern is flouting rather than other types of non-observance (e.g., violating, infringing, opting out, or suspending). Flouting the maxim of quantity appears in extended explanations that emphasize preparedness and workload; flouting relevance emerges when sensitive or potentially risky questions are answered with broader policy frames; flouting quality occurs through evaluative claims and metaphorical wording that downplays controversy; and flouting manner is realized through vague, bureaucratic, or technical expressions that reduce directness. Overall, these pragmatic choices help project professionalism, maintain political harmony, and manage public perceptions while still allowing listeners to infer intended meanings. This study contributes to pragmatics by showing how maxim non-observance can serve as an effective rhetorical resource in Indonesian political discourse

Abstract

This study seeks to identify and describe how polite language strategies are used in government political speeches related to the issue of government shutdowns. The approach used is descriptive qualitative, using the pragmatic theoretical framework of Brown and Levinson (1987). The research data comes from recordings of official speeches posted on YouTube, where note-taking and listening techniques were used to collect information. The results of the research show that speakers tend to use Positive Politeness strategies to strengthen the sense of togetherness among party members, and use Direct Strategies on the Main Issue to convey urgent policy commands. The significance of these findings lies in the understanding of how language is used tactically to maintain social harmony while maintaining political dominance in difficult times. The core conclusion of this research is that the determination of politeness strategies is greatly influenced by the urgency of the situation and the power relationship between the speaker and the listener. Further studies could examine changes in politeness strategies in intercultural political debates or through various social media platforms to observe broader pragmatic movements.
