This study aims to identify the types of conversational maxims violated by the characters in the Inventing Anna series and to find out the motives behind the violation of maxims. This research used a qualitative approach because it involves descriptive and non-numerical analysis. Documentation method, note-taking technique, and content analysis are applied to collect and analyze the data. The documentation method was applied to find information from a video (Inventing Anna series) and its transcription. Meanwhile, the note-taking technique was to note down the conversations or utterances of the characters in the series that contain maxim violation. The main theory used in this research is Maxim Violation by Paul Grice (1975). The study analyzed four characters from the series and found 14 maxim violations in the characters’ utterances from Inventing Anna series. There are 5 violating maxim of quality, 2 violating maxim of quantity, 2 violating maxim of manner, 3 violating maxim of relation, and 2 violating several maxims in one conversation. There is a high possibility of violating more than one maxim in one conversation. The motives for violating a maxim based on the analysis are to escape bad situations, avoid getting involved in any trouble or scandal, face-saving act (maintain a good image), convince someone, get recognition, gain sympathy, and distract or manipulate the interlocutor.

The descriptive qualitative method is employed, and scenes and English subtitles from the Wednesday Addams series season 1: episodes 1 and 4, available on Netflix, are used as the data source. The research identifies four opposing mental states: darkness and lightness, taciturnity and talkativeness, rigid and flexible, and indifference and care.

The findings can inform educators and students on effective language use to maintain positive interactions and create inclusive educational spaces.

Abstract

This research analyzes the use of figurative language in Dave Chappelle's standup comedy special "Sticks & Stones." The issue addressed is how Chappelle employs various forms of figurative. The aim of this study is to identify and evaluate the types of figurative language used and understand how these techniques affect the messages conveyed and the audience's response. The research method used is qualitative text analysis, where transcripts of the comedy special are analyzed to identify metaphors, similes, irony, hyperbole, personification, metonymy. Data were collected through direct observation of the performance and related literature analysis to support the findings. The findings of the study show that Chappelle consistently uses figurative language, as well as to add deeper layers of humor to his material. Metaphors and irony emerge as the main tools used to highlight absurdities and injustices in issues such as cancel culture, identity politics, and freedom of speech. These results indicate that figurative language not only functions as a rhetorical tool but also as a mechanism to invite the audience to think critically about the issues raised. This research contributes to the development of knowledge by adding insights into the role of figurative language in standup comedy. It also expands the understanding of how comedians like Chappelle can use language techniques to influence public perception and encourage social dialogue.
