Abstract

Keyword: Pragmatics, Conversational Maxim, Flouting Maxim, Implicature, Forrest Gump Movie. Verbal communication is one of important parts of human’s life. One language study that deals with verbal communication is pragmatics. Pragmatics tells about people’s intended meaning, their assumption, their purpose or goals and also the kinds of action a speaker makes as he uses language. This study pragmatically attempts to analyze the realization of conversational maxims on the dialogues made by the charracters in Forrest Gump movie. The main objective of this study is to discover what the implicature arises in dialogue, resulted from the flouting of maxims. The study is of important effort to conduct since it would indirectly explore the various verbal expressions in a communication within English cultural setting. Thus, such a study would be of one valuable input for those who are involved in the instructional development for speaking class. There are three research problems being observed namely (1) what kinds of maxim flouted in dialogue of Forrest Gump movie (2) what implicature arises when a particular type of maxim flouted (3) how frequent is particular type of maxim flouted found in dialogue of Forrest Gump movie. The research design of the study is descriptive quantitative survey which employs pragmatic analysis. It is intended to investigate that three research problems in relation to flouting maxim and implicature. The data are the utterances in dialogue made by the charracters of Forrest Gump movie flouting maxims along with the raised implicatures. The data are taken from the transcript of Forrest Gump movie. The results of the study show that all maxims theorized by Grice are found flouted in this study. The most flouted maxim is quantity, that is of 98 utterances (49%), followed by maxim of relevance, i.e. 52 utterances (26%), maxim of manner, i.e. 39 utterances (19.5%), and maxim of quality, i.e. 11 utterances (5.5%). The implicature occurred as the result of flouting maxim. Then the speaker flouts the maxim of quantity when speaker tries to present funny fantasies as if they were facts and also when the speaker wants to trigger the hearer to be responsive and sensitive about situation on him/herself. The speaker breaks maxim of manner to when he/she responds to the participant’s statement with vague of confusing response. The speaker flout maxim of relevance when he/she means to trigger someone to introspect about certain phenomena. The speaker flouts the maxim of quality when the speaker tells the most prepared truth. The writer expects the next researcher to study the concept of conversational implicature in different subject like advertisement, TV show, newspaper and many others. The writer also expects the next researcher to identify implicauter with different theory like theory of relevance.
