Abstract

This study investigates conversational implicature in the 2024 animated film Inside Out 2 by analyzing characters’ utterances through the lens of Grice’s theory of implicature and cooperative principles. Conversational implicature refers to the implied meanings not directly expressed but inferred through contextual understanding. Employing a qualitative descriptive method, this study examines both particularized and generalized implicatures, drawing data from selected dialogues in the film and its official transcript. The emotional complexity of the movie—highlighted by the presence of characters such as Anxiety, Envy, and Embarrassment—provides rich ground for analyzing indirect communication. Findings show that from 28 data items, 25 are particularized implicatures and 3 are generalized. This distribution emphasizes a strong reliance on context-sensitive communication, where meaning emerges from emotional, psychological, and situational cues. Particularized implicatures often occur in emotionally charged interactions, reflecting the characters’ internal struggles and development, particularly Riley’s journey through adolescence. Generalized implicatures, though less frequent, serve to convey socially shared assumptions, enhancing audience understanding in broader, often humorous contexts. The analysis also highlights how the characters’ utterances align with Grice’s maxims. The maxim of relevance is maintained through contextually appropriate responses; the maxim of quantity appears when speakers provide adequate information; the maxim of quality surfaces through honest and sincere exchanges; and the maxim of manner is evident in clear, concise communication. Together, these implicatures and maxims enrich the film’s emotional depth and narrative subtlety.

Abstract

Pragmatics is a branch of linguistics that examines how meaning is shaped through language use within specific contexts involving speakers and listeners. Central to this field is speech act theory, which explains how utterances perform actions and create social meaning. This study analyzes the types and functions of illocutionary acts used in an interview between Jimmy Fallon and former U.S. President Barack Obama, illustrating how pragmatic strategies operate in media interaction. Employing a descriptive qualitative approach, the analysis is based on Searle’s (1976) classification of illocutionary acts. Data were gathered through documentation and note-taking. The findings reveal three dominant illocutionary acts: representatives, directives, and expressives. Representatives convey beliefs or statements of fact, directives seek to influence the listener through questions or suggestions, and expressives communicate emotions or evaluations. Overall, the study shows how these illocutionary acts contribute to communicative intent, reflect interpersonal dynamics, and highlight the interactional styles of both interviewer and interviewee.
