Abstract

This study investigates the interplay between Conversation Analysis (CA) and Gricean maxims in the Based Indonesian Talks podcast episode “Why Opposition is Important?”. Eight excerpts were analyzed to examine how conversational structure and pragmatic strategies shape political discourse between the hosts, Panji Pragiwaksono and Andriy. The results show that 24 violations of Grice’s Cooperative Principle occurred throughout the episode, with the Maxim of Quantity being the most frequently violated (33.33%), followed by Relation, Quality, and Manner. CA findings reveal that these violations consistently align with identifiable interactional patterns, including extended turns, dispreferred responses, humor sequences, metaphorical statements, and minimal repair. Rather than indicating communicative breakdown, the maxim violations function as strategic resources that enhance persuasion, maintain humor, manage ideological contrast, and enable indirect political critique. The study concludes that pragmatic flexibility supported by orderly turn-taking and sequence organization allows speakers to address sensitive political issues while preserving conversational cooperation. This integrated CA–Grice approach provides deeper insight into how political commentary is constructed in informal podcast discourse.

Abstract

This study investigates the evaluative language used by Donald Trump in his speech concerning Harvard University’s treatment of foreign students, employing the Attitude system from Appraisal Theory. Focusing on three subsystems such as Affect, Judgement, and Appreciation. This study analyzes how Trump constructs his political persona, positions ideological others, and frames educational policy within nationalist discourse. The data were drawn from transcribed segments of a publicly available speech and analyzed qualitatively using Appraisal Theory as the primary analytical framework. The findings reveal that Judgement was the most dominant Attitude type (44.29%), followed by Appreciation (35.71%) and Affect (20%). Most evaluations (58.57%) were directed toward others (especially institutions and political actors), while the remaining 41.43% targeted the speaker himself. The overall evaluative polarity was predominantly negative (61.43%), with positive evaluations accounting for 38.57% of the data. Trump frequently praised his own leadership capacity while expressing dissatisfaction or moral condemnation toward elite institutions. Notably, this study highlights a rarely examined theme in Trump’s discourse: education policy. By framing foreign students as victims and elite universities as ideologically flawed, Trump repositions the education sector as a site of political contestation. This study contributes to the growing body of literature on political discourse by extending Appraisal analysis into the educational domain, revealing how evaluative meanings shape public narratives beyond traditional themes like war and immigration.
