Abstract

This study investigates the application of Grice’s Cooperative Principle in spoken discourse by analyzing Rosé’s utterances during her interview on the i-D YouTube channel. Employing a descriptive qualitative approach, the research identifies how the four conversational maxims—quantity, quality, relation, and manner—are manifested in her responses. The data are obtained through non-participatory observation and note-taking and analyzed using a pragmatic identity method. A total of 22 utterances were identified, with the maxims of quantity and relation (36.36%) being the most frequently observed. The findings show that Rosé’s responses largely adhered to the principles of quantity and relevance, reflecting a cooperative communication style. These findings highlight a growing trend in pragmatic research: the context-dependent application of Grice’s maxims in public discourse. Despite these developments, there remains a notable gap in research focusing specifically on K-pop artist interviews within digital platforms such as YouTube. Considering this, the present study contributes to a broader understanding of cooperative communication in media discourse and offers insights into the continued applicability of Gricean theory in analyzing contemporary public interactions.

Abstract

Addressing a gap in cross-cultural semantic studies of Indonesian global artists, this paper investigates the connotative meanings embedded in NIKI’s “Anaheim” lyrics. The study employs a descriptive qualitative research design to interpret the connotative meanings conveyed through linguistic choices in NIKI’s lyrics. The study employs document and content analysis of the song’s written text. Ten lyrical excerpts were systematically read, annotated, and coded to identify recurring lexical items, metaphors, and thematic patterns. The coding process, validated through peer discussion and reference triangulation, ensured interpretive reliability and analytical depth. Drawing on Leech’s semantic framework and supported by transnational identity theory, the analysis highlights how “Anaheim” constructs themes of loss, emotional transformation, and cultural hybridity. The findings reveal that NIKI’s nuanced use of connotative language transforms personal experience into a universal emotional narrative, illustrating how linguistic creativity serves as a medium of identity negotiation within the global pop music landscape
