ACKNOWLEDGMENT
First of all, I would like to thank my Jesus Christ, the Almighty God. He gives me courage and responsibility as an individual. His blessing and mercy make me strong to face my life. He teaches me how to be an adult and responsible man. Since my beloved father passed away, Jesus has been the Savior and Father of mine. He is my faithful Father to help me finish this thesis. He is also the best person for me to share my story of my twenty two years old that has a lot of unforgettable experiences. Happiness, sadness, depression, joy, tears and love are those that He gives me. Thank Jesus for never stopping blessing and giving me courage.
Secondly, I would like to express thousands of thanks to Mrs. Heny Hartono SS., M.Pd. and Drs. Y E. Budiyana, MA. They patiently supported me so I could finish my thesis. Without their advices and support, I can not imagine what I am going to be because I almost surrender in finishing this thesis. I push my self so hard to finish this last assignment in this university. So based on that reason, I do really thank you all. I believe that the Almighty Jesus Christ would bless you all.
I would like to say thousands of thanks to my family especially for their support and loves, to my mom who always reminds me to graduate soon and get a job. Thank to my sister, Priscilla Bunga Apriliani for the wise words especially her phrase “Post Power Syndrome”. It reminds me to stop joining many activities in college as the participants or the committee and Natalia Bulan Retno Palupi who reminds me to graduate soon by giving me the school fee.
The next is for “Awaken the Giant Within” Student Self Development of Unika Soegijapranata community. Thank you so much for supporting and couraging me. All of you are my second family in my life with whom I can share my experience. You give smile, laughter, love, and support that really help me during these two years before I graduate. Long live to “Awaken the Giant Within” Student Self Development of Unika Soegijapranata community.

ABSTRACT
There are many ways people do in order to deliver their ideas. People deliver their ideas in written and orally. Speech is one of the communication ways used by people to deliver their ideas or messages so other people can understand them. In speech, surely there are unwritten rules that make the conversation effective and efficient. That rule made by Grice about Grice Conversational Maxim (Yule, 1996:37) that contains four principles which are quality, quantity, manner, and relevant. Therefore, this study analyzes the maxim flouting in Research Method 1 students’ presentations and find out the kinds of the maxim flouting that mostly occur in Research Method Linguistics 1 students’ presentations. The writer chose 16 students from the total 19 students presenting their research proposal in Research Method I in Linguistics. In order to analyze the data, the writer uses Grice Conversational Maxim as the main theory.
