Abstract

The situation in which people involved in a conversation failed to obey the maxims is known as the non-observance maxims. This research focuses on finding the types of non-observance maxims performed by the main character during the conversation in the Knives Out movie. The theory from Grice (1975), supported by Thomas (1995), applied to find out the types of non-observance maxims. The data of this research were collected by using the document analysis method and analysed by combining quantitative and qualitative methods. The finding presents that there are three types of non-observance maxims performed by the main character in the Knives Out movie. It consists of flouting maxim of relevance (50%), violating maxim of quality (37,5%), and violating maxim of relevance (12,5%). The finding explains that the main character in the Knives Out movie tend to break the maxim by giving an irrelevant answer compared to the topic of discussion.

Abstract

Pragmatics is essential for understanding implied meaning beyond literal language in cinematic dialogues, providing valuable insights into character interaction and story development. This study explores the deliberate flouting of the maxim of relevance, based on Grice’s (1975) Cooperative Principle, in the animated film Inside Out 2. Using a qualitative descriptive method, data were collected through careful observation and verbatim transcription of 58 dialogue exchanges. Among these, 21 instances of maxim of relevance flouting were identified, with eight selected for detailed examination. The analysis reveals that these pragmatic strategies serve to express hidden meanings, regulate emotions, and navigate complex interpersonal relationships between characters. These communicative choices uncover psychological depth and enhance both character development and plot progression. Uniquely, this research contributes to pragmatic theory by examining conversational relevance manipulation within animation, expanding film studies scholarship. The findings also offer practical implications for language education and media analysis by demonstrating how pragmatic competence enriches understanding of dialogue in multimedia contexts.
