ABSTRACT

MONITA INDAYARTI. 2012. The Flouting of Implicature in “The King’s Speech” (Pragmatic Approach) (Supervised by Simon Sitoto and Sukmawati).

This study aimed at describing the flouting of implicature that implied in each utterance that became the main data, and explaining reason why the speakers violate it.

In analyzing data, the writer used descriptive method. The data were collected by library and field research used purposive sampling method. The data were analyzed using a pragmatic approach. The data related to the flouting of implicatures were elaborated clearly by using cooperative principle and politeness principle.

The results of the analysis show that in the English movie entitled “The King’s Speech” the speakers tend to flout the implicature in their utterances. Using Gricean analysis, the implicatures of the utterances of the speakers flout the conversational maxim: 10 utterances flout the maxim of relevance, 4 utterances flout the maxim of quality, 4 utterances flout the maxim of quantity, and 4 utterances flout the maxim manner. Using Lakoff’s analysis, the utterances of the speakers flout maxim of politeness principle: 7 utterances flout do not impose, 1 utterance flouts give the hearer option and 11 utterances flout make the addressee feel good. Besides, the results also show that the speakers violate the maxims of cooperative principle because they assume the hearer already understand what they mean, they want to hide what their actual mean and make their utterance looks more polite; and the speakers violate the maxims of politeness principle because they want to express their feelings to the hearers of the situation they face, to ensure their wishes and intention to the hearer because they think their wishes are very important.

ABSTRAK

MONITA INDAYARTI. 2012. The Flouting of Implicature in “The King’s Speech” (Pendekatan Pragmatik) (Dibimbing oleh Simon Sitoto dan Sukmawati).

Tujuan dari penelitian ini yaitu untuk memaparkan tentang pelanggaran implikatur yang terjadi dalam setiap tuturan yang kemudian menjadi data utama, dan menjelaskan tentang alasan mengapa para tokoh melanggarnya.

Dalam menganalisis data, penulis menggunakan metode deskriptif. Data dikumpulkan melalui studi pustaka dan lapangan dengan menggunakan metode purposive sampling. Kemudian data yang berkaitan dengan pelanggaran implikatur dipaparkan secara jelas dengan menggunakan prinsip kerjasama dan prinsip kesopanan.

Hasil dari analisis menunjukan bahwa dalam film yang berjudul “The King’s Speech”, para tokoh cenderung melanggar implikatur dalam tuturannya. Dengan menggunakan teori Grice, para tokoh melanggar maxim percakapan: 10 tuturan melanggar maxim of hubungan, 4 tuturan melanggar maxim of kualitas, 4 tuturan melanggar maxim kuantitas, and 4 tuturan melanggar maxim cara. Dengan menggunakan teory Lakoff, para tokoh melanggar maxim dari prinsip kesopanan: 7 tuturan melanggar maxim jangan memaksa, 1 tuturan melanggar maxim berikan pilihan kepada pendengar dan 11 tuturan melanggar maxim buat pendengar merasa nyaman. Disamping itu, hasil juga menunjukan bahwa para tokoh melanggar maxim dari prinsip kerjasama karena mereka berasumsi bahwa pendengar telah mengerti apa yang mereka maksud, mereka ingin meyembunyikan maksud yang sebenarnya dan membuat perkataan mereka tampak sopan; dan para tokoh melanggar maxim dari prinsip kesopanan karena mereka ingin mengungkapkan perasaan mereka kepada pendengar terhadap situasi yang mereka hadapi, dan mereka ingin meyakinkan pendengar tentang maksud dan keinginan mereka karena mereka berpikir apa yang mereka inginkan itu sangat penting.
