Abstract

The objective of this research is to identify the types of directive illocutionary acts and the meaning of the utterances produced by all the characters in the Waves movie. The present study employed a qualitative approach. The data for this study were derived from the Waves movie script, which served as the primary data source. The documentation and observation methods are employed to collect data from the movie script and the movie itself. The method of data analysis employed is qualitative analysis. The data was presented informally. The present study employs two theories to resolve two research problems. The first theory is the types of directive illocutionary acts theory by Bach and Harnish. The second theory is the aspect of speech situation by Leech. The results of the study revealed the presence of 37 directive utterances, covering all six directive types: requestives, questions, requirements, prohibitives, permissives, and advisories. The analysis indicated that the directive type of requirements was the most prevalent.

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.
