CHAPTER I
INTRODUCTION
This chapter presents background of study, research problems, objectives of the study, significance of the study, scope and limitation, and definition of key terms.
1.1.Background of Study
Communication is one of the way by someone to express the feeling amd the way of people to communicate each other. There are two ways to communicate by written and spoken. In a written language, people communicate by using sentences. On the other hand, in spoken language, they communicate by using utterances. Speakers use a language to communicate and exchange their thoughts, ideas, feelings, knowledge and assumption. In the communication, they use words or sentences to send their messages, and expect the hearers to understand what they intend to mean. It is important for the speakers to understand that language use can determine the success of communication.The branch of linguistics are semantics, phonetics, morphology, phonology, syntactic, stylistics, and pragmatics. The Researcher focused on the pragmatics particulary on the cooperative principle.
According to Richards et al (1992 : p284-285)
2
use and understand speech act, and how the structure of sentences is influenced by the relationship between the speaker and the hearer.”
The main purposed to get a good communication is considered the exchange of information. Cooperative principle is as a guideline for the efficient and effective use of language in conversation to further cooperative ends. Cooperative principle is one of the most important ideas on pragmatics and it is an interesting topics to be analyzed. Cooperative principle is to arrange the attitude and utterance in order to make the make conversation coherent. The cooperative principle encompasses maxim of quantity, maxim of quality, maxim of relevance, and maxim of manner.
H.P.Grice is one of the linguists who introduces cooperative principle. Grice first introduced the Cooperative Principle and it was explained in conversational implicature at his article, “Logic and Conversation (1975)” in Asropit (2012 : 6). He argued that generation and perception of these implicatures are based on the following principle: “Make your conversational contribution such as is required,
at the stage at which is occurs, by the accepted purpose or direction of the talk exchange in which you are engaged” (Grice, 1975:48). Easily, cooperative
principle tries to make the explicit certain rational thinking by observing the people conversation.
3
drawing on an assumption of contextual information and background knowledge. People sometimes violate maxims of cooperative principles for various purposes. For example, speakers give too much or little information which is required by hearers. However, since hearers can make assumption from the speakers’
utterances, they are able to understand speakers’ message. In the real world,
people talk to each other without obeying the maxims.
In his theory, Grice made a distinction between saying and meaning. He argued that speakers can create the implicit meanings and their audiences can infer these intended meaning from their conversations. He believed that people follow certain patterns in their interactions and claimed that listeners know that a speaker’s utterance contains enough information, and it is relevant. When it
patently violates this thinking, we understand that meaning. Therefore, violation of relevance does not mean a lack of cooperation.
Grice’s Maxims which have purpose to explain the processes implication
inside of his thinking, Grice also (1975) showed the following maxims:
Quality: speaker tells the truth or provable by adequate evidence
Quantity: speaker is as informative as required Relation: response is relevant to topic of discussion
Manner: speaker avoids ambiguity or obscurity, is direct and straight forward.
4
Those why, there are five majors to fail observe to maxim itself. Those are Flouting, Violating, Infringing, Opting out and Suspending. In this research, the researcher focused on the second major, that is violating. Violating maxim, according to Grice (1975:50), takes place when speakers intentionally refrain to apply certain maxims in their conversation to cause misunderstanding on their participants’ part or to achieve some other purposes. As the example :
Sarah : “Did you enjoy the party last night?”
Anna : “There was plenty of oriental food on the table, lost of flowers all of the place, people hanging around chatting with each other.”
In this conversation, sarah asked a simple question but Anna’s answered with the long answer and Anna was extended description about what was happened in the party last night. Two interpretations could be made from Anna’s description. First, Anna had such a good time in the party that she was obviously too excited and had no idea where to began. Second, Anna had such a terrible time and she does not know how to complain about it. In this case, Anna got a multiple violation. A multiple violation occurs when the speaker violates maxim more than one at the same time. From this example Anna is not only ambiguous which is violating maxim of manner but also verbose which is violating maxim of quantity at the same time.

comic One Piece volume 51 “The Eleven Supernovas”. Comic is one of the types of the book that is the easiest to be understood by reading and pay attention to the drawing. According to oxford page 83 “comic strip is Series of drawing that tell a story and are often printed in newspaper”. Comic uses the direct conversation but it is in writing.
The researcher had the different discussion or analysis. The researcher focused on the violating maxim and the reason. The researcher used violating maxim to analyzed it. A lot of thesis using comic as their object but they analyzed using flouting maxim, the researcher also used comic as the object but the researcher used multiple violation as the problem which had different analysis. Comic is one of the visual media which can be the effective learning to make the reader to be more creative, because in comic there are illustration of the picture about the story which is told. Comic also used the easy language so the reader will not be bored to read and study about conversational maxim and its violation.

1.5.Significance of study
It is hoped that the result of this research can be a valuable contribution to anybody who reads this study. It is expected that by reading this thesis, someone will pay attention to the cooperative principle of the conversation. By paying attention and following the cooperative principle, the reader distinguish the violation of the maxims and they can make a successful conversation. This research can give the additional information to the reader about cooperative principle, especially in maxim and its violation.
1.6.Definition of Key Term a. Cooperative principle

b. Multiple Violating maxim
Two or more violating maxim which is done by someone at the same time. c. Comic book
Comic with a short story which consists of 32 pages, 48 ages or even 64 pages in each series, usually love story heroic humor and others.
d. One Piece
CHAPTER II
REVIEW OF LITERATURE
This Chapter presents a brief overview on the theory of cooperative principle by H.P.Grice, followed by its maxim and the explanation of conversational analysis, context, maxim and its violation. In addition, the researcher presents some previous studies of this field.
2.1. Theorirical Framework 2.1.1.Pragmatics
The study of how speaker and hearer gives proper contribution in conversation is called Pragmatics. Levinson (1983 : 9) gives definition that pragmatic is the study of those relation between language and context that are grammaticalized, or encoded in the structure of a language. It means that pragmatic has a relation with the grammar, because what we will say we have to say it grammatically correct. The researcher uses pragmatics in this research because we learn how to make a good relation of utterance between the speaker and hearer so both of them can interpret the meaning and understand what the speaker says in a correct grammar. Besides, pragmatic is a systematic way of explaining tha language use in context.
9
or speaker meaning. In order for a person to interpret what we say, the philosopher Paul Grice, in his article “Logic and Conversation” (1975),
argues “some kind of cooperative principles must be assumed to be in
operation. Sub -categories of Pragmatics: Speech act Theory, Felicity Conditions, Conversational Implicature, The Cooperative Principle, Conversational Maxims, Relevance, Politeness, Phatic Tokens, Deixis”.
According to Leech (1993: 13-14) describes the aspect of speech situation as follows:
1. Addresser, the speaker or writer who provides the utterance.
2. Addressee, the hearer or reader who is the recipient of the utterance. 3. Topic, it is what is being talk about.
4. Setting, in term of place and time where the event and in term also of posture, gesture and expressions.
5. Channel, how participants maintain contact between them (by speech, writing, singing).
6. Code, what language or dialect or style of language is being used.
7. Message from; it can be love-letter, sonnet, fairy-tale, chat, debate, sermon, etc.
8. Event, such as church service, etc.
10
easy to understand. Beside that, speech situation is also a significant thing that the hearer or speaker must understand to be successful in communication.
2.1.2. Conversation
Conversation is a cooperative activity in the form of communicative interaction. People interact with other person to exchange information. When the communicative interaction happens, at least there are two participants involved in it. They are the speaker and interlocutor who exchange information with each other.
In conversation, participants have a turn to speak in the conversation, it is called turn – taking. The participants need to have a sense of when to speak or keep silent (and to develop a mutual tolerance). When the speakers speak to the interlocutors, they must speak clearly in order to make the interlocutor understand what they have said. Speakers should know how to start and end the conversation. Conversational opening is the strategies, which are used by a person to begin a conversation
2.1.3.Cooperative Principle
The general overarching guideline for conversation is often called the cooperative principle (CP). This principle arranges the attitude in order to make the conversation is coherence. According to Grice in Yule (1996:37). “In
11
CP that Grice introduces has the general name of the CP and consist of four principles. Those are the maxim of quantity, the maxim of quality, the maxim of relation, and the maxim of manner.The CP is needed in conversation to make a successful conversation. If one of the maxims is violated by some utterances of the speakers and yet the hearers are still assuming that speakers are cooperating with the hearers in communication. The hearers can take the violation as a sign that something is being said indirectly.
Grice (1975) is concerned with the relationship between logic and conversation (in fact, “Logic and Conversation” is the title of the paper). As Grice
explains, natural language utterances do not seem to convey the same meaning that correspond logical propositions.“It is common place of
philosophical logic that there are, or appear to be, divergences in meaning between, on the one hand, at least some of what I shall call the formal devices, on the other what are taken to be their analogs or counterpart in natural language-such expressions.” Grice proposes a general principle which participants will be expected to observe; “Make your conversational contribution such as is required, at the stage at which it occurs, by the accepted purpose or direction of the talk exchange in which you are engaged. “This principle is labeled
“the Cooperative Principle” and it consists of four more specific maxims. Those
12
2.1.3.1. Maxim of Quantity
Maxim of Quantity is related to quantity of providing the information. It is the maxim which leads to make the contribution in conversation as informative as required. It is divided into two sub maxim, which Leech (1983 : 8) expresses as follows :
1. Make your contribution as informative as is required (for the current purpose of the exchange).
2. Do not make your contribution more informative than is required. Example :
A : “What are you studying?” B : “I am studying English.”
In this utterances, the answer of B is informative for the question which asks by A. when A asks about the subject of the lesson, B’s answer “English”. It
is enough because the message is delivered.
2.1.3.2. Maxim of Quality
Maxim of quality is related to the truth-value of the utterance. It is focused on the quality of information that is given by the speaker. The speaker should try to make the contribution be true. Grice (1975) suggested three sub maxims as follows :
1. Try to make your contribution one that is true. 2. Do not say what you believe to be false.
13
Example :
Teacher : “Why do you come late?”
Student : “I’m sorry mam. The motorcycle was broken down.”
In this case, student gives the truth that his motorcycle was broken down so that he come late.
2.1.3.3. Maxim of Relation
Maxim of relation is related to correlation between one utterances and other utterance. Speakers’ contribution should relate clearly to the purpose of the
exchange, it should be relevant. The maxim of relation requires being relevant to the context and situation in which the utterance occurs (Thomas, 1995 : 70)
Example :
A : “Ouch, my head is dizzy”
B : “I will accompany you to see a doctor.”
In this case, B’s response has relation with the statement that is said by A.
A complains her headache, whereas B hears A’s utterance and B expresses his
utterance which in relevant with A’s utterance.
2.1.3.4. Maxim of Manner
14
1. Avoid obscurity of expression 2. Avoid ambiguity
3. Be brief (avoid unnecessary proxility) 4. Be orderly
It means the utterance that is conveyed must be clear. There are two kinds of clarity, those are clear text and clear message. Clear text is constructed by syntax and phonology of the language. Then, the clear message is when the sense of illocutionary goal conveyed is understandable.
Example :
A : “Where is my pensilcase?”
B : “It is on the table in your bedroom.”
In this case B’s answer is constructed by clear syntax and the message that
is conveyed does not make ambiguous. So that utterance is clear text and message.
2.1.4.Maxim Violation
Violation is defined as the unostentatious or ‘quiet’ non-observance of a maxim. A Speaker who violates a maxim ‘will be liable to mislead’
15
Grice (1975:45) in Tupan and Natalia (2008:68) gives the criteria of violation of maxim used as distinguished guedlines. Here are the guedlines :
2.1.4.1. Violating Maxim of Quantity
a. If the speakers does circumlocution or not to the point b. If the speakers in uninformative
c. If the speakers talks too much d. If the speakers talks too short
e. If the speakers repeats certain words
As the example cited in William, et al (1987:302) : Marry’s friend : “Where is Marry?”
Lucy : “I think she has moved in the South of England or something. (the case : know where is the address of Mary but Mary does not want to meet her again)”
In the exsample above, Lucy is not being untruthful since she has said nothing false, but by giving less information than is appropriate. Lucy is violating Maxim of Quantity and hence being misleading. She talks too short about the address. Marry’s friend asks to lucy the address but lucy does not answer with the complete address because lucy knows that marry’s friend will come to marry’s
16
2.1.4.2. Violating Maxim of Quality
a. If the speaker lies or says something that is believed to be false b. If the speaker does irony or makes ironic and sarcastic statement c. If the speaker denies something
d. If the speaker distorts information.
As the example by Khosravizadeh and Sadehvandi (2011:122-123) of violating maxim of quality :
Mother : “Did you study all day long?” Son : “Yes, I’ve been studying till know!”
(son who has been playing all day long)
In the example above, the son was untruthful and violated the maxim of Quality He was lied to avoid unpleasant consequences such as; punishment or to be forced to study for the rest of the day. He distorsts the information which is the fact he does not study all day long and makes his mother believed that he studies all day long.
2.1.4.3. Violating Maxim of Relation
a. If the speaker makes the conversation unmatched with the topic b. If the speaker changes conversation topic abruptly
c. If the speaker avoids talking about something d. If the speaker hides something or hides a fact e. If the speaker does the wrong causality
17
Student : “It’s been raining a lot lately, hasn’t it?”
From the example above, the student violate maxim of Relation by not responding in a relevant way. On the other hand, by giving this response the student signal to the teacher that he want to move away from the topic of conversation that has been raised. That is one of the clue that he is violating maxim of relation (by changing the topic)
2.1.4.4. Violating Maxim of Manner
a. If the speaker uses ambiguous language b. If the speaker exaggerates thing
c. If the speaker uses slang in front of people who do not understand it. d. If the speaker’s voice is not loud enough.
As the example by Khosravizadeh and Sadehvandi (2011:122-123) of violating maxim of Manner :
Sarah : “Did you enjoy the party last night?”
Anna : “There was plenty of oriental food on the table, lots of flower all over the place, people hanging around chatting with each other.” From the example above, Sarah asked a simply question but Anna answer’s is protacted description of what was going on in the party last night.
There are two interpretation can be caught from Anna’s answer. 1. Anna had such
18
In addition, the example above is a case of multiple violation. A multiple violation occurs when speakers violate more than one maxim simultaneously. In this case, Anna does not only violate maxim of manner but also violate maxim of quantity at the same time.
2.1.5.Context
Context is central understanding in interpreting the meaning. According to Paul Gee (2010:100)
Context is an important notion for understanding language-in-use and for understanding the nature of discourse analysis (which is, after all, the study of language-in-use). When we speak or write we never say all that we mean. Spelling everything out in words explicitly would take far too long. Speakers and writers rely on listeners and readers to use the context in which things are said and written to fill in meanings that are left unsaid, but assumed to be inferable from context.
In context, we require a consideration of how speaker organize what they want to say in accordance with who they are talking to, where, and when, and under what circumstance as cited in Yule (1996:3). Context is one of the important thing to understand what the people communicated. By knowing the context of their communication we will understand what they want or what they mean. People will not understand the communication if they do not know the context of the conversation or communication. As cited in Ningrum (2015:16) according to Paltride (2006:54) explains that cultural knowledge tends to say “what they know about the world, what they know about various areas of life,
19
communicate. A good communication will be happened If you comprehend four sub maxims in your communication.Gricean approaches to conversation focus on inference and belief ascription under assumption that speech is a cooperative engagement, subject to maxims of quality, quantity, relation and manner as quoted Mey (2009 : 199) in Muzaim (2015:12).
2.1.6.Chrisstoffersen’s Classification
In the real life when they have a communication or being communication. Many people tend to lie and break the rules of Grice’s Cooperative principle.
When they lie in a communication, they also violate maxim and almost all of the violate maxim more than one that is called as multiple violation. They have some reasons to do it. According to Christoffersen (2005) in Tupan (2008:67) says that in real life situation, people tend to tell lies for different reasons. The following reasons will be used in the analysis to interpret the data. They are:
1. Hide the truth
Example : (John covers his real age to his sister’s friend whom he met at the
party by telling her that they have the same age) A : “I am twenty years old, and how old are you?”
20
2. Save face
Example: (Ann covers herself for being shoplifter in front of people) A : “What is in your bag? I think our bracelet is in it”
B : “I – I do not know what you are talking about. I do not have any bracelet. That alarm must be wrong.”
3. Feel jealous about something
Example: (Cindy lies to Jane that she doesn’t know Jim, the new student.
Cindy actually likes him.)
A : “I know you talked to Jim, this morning. He is awesome. What do you think about him?”
B : “I don’t know what you are talking about.” 4. Satisfying the hearer
Example: (A conversation between a mother and her son) A : “Mom, how was I born?”
B : “Uhm… because God loves you so He sends you to me as a gift.” 5. Cheer the hearer
Example: (a wife asks her husband whether she looks OK with the purple blouse or not. Her husband who hates purple, cheers his wife by giving an answer thatis expected by his wife)
A : “Honey, does this color nice?”
21
6. Avoiding to hurt the hearer
Example: (a mother of three years old boy wants to protect his son by telling that his father has gone overseas rather than saying that he died) A : “Mummy, where is Daddy?”
B : “Daddy has gone overseas because he wants to buy some toys for you.” 7. Building one’s belief
Example: (Joan asks her boyfriend whether he still remembers his ex girlfriend or not. Her boyfriend lies to her and makes her believe 100%) A : I wonder if you are still in love with your ex.
B : Of course not darling, you know you are the one in my heart. (Fact: he is still in love with his ex)
A : But how come you still keep her photo in your wallet?
B : That is not her; she is my cousin who looks like her. (Fact: that’s his ex’s
photo)
8. Convincing the hearer
Example: (a part time clerk asks his friend to take his shift, but his friend refuses by creating a good reason)
A : Can you take my shift tonight?
B : I wish I could, but I have to take my daughter to the dentist.
2.1.7.Comic
22
the hearer and the hearer gives the respond of what he hear from the speaker. It means that in communication sometimes the conversation runs well or does not at all. It can be happened if the speaker cannot explain the utterance clearly enough or a hearer does not seriously respond to what the speaker says by giving him any kind of speech act which is meant by the speaker.
From the case, the conversation within comics has to regard to the rules of conversation, so the conversation will be cooperative, affective and get the goal of communication. The principle or rules which is used in communication is cooperative principle of Grice or can be called as Gricean’s maxim. The speaker
which does not obey the rule or does not follow the Gricean’s maxim called as
violated maxim.
A comic frequently takes the form of juxtaposed sequence of panels of picture or a series of pictures used to tell a story. Sometimes, they may be paired with words, to create dialog or explain something. Comics also called an artistic medium in which images incorporate text or other visual forms of information in order to express a narrative or idea (Arthanti, 2013:36)
Comics consist of any kinds, such as ; comic book which is normally thin in size and stapled together. Comic books are also capable of more sophisticated layouts and composition as cited from Duncan, et al (2009:6). Comic book is called as a comic with a short story which consists of 32 pages, 48 pages or even 64 pages in each series, usually love story, heroic, humor and others.
23
research. Comic magazine usually uses the thick paper as the cover and the pages is more thick, more than fifty (50) pages. Popular comic magazine include One Piece, Naruto, Tintin, and so on.
2.2. Previous Study
Violation of conversational maxim has been analyzed by many researchers in many different field and object. On this study, there are several researchers have done in the same area with the researcher of this paper. However, the focus of this research is different. The same studies are such as Sri Retno (2006) , Agus (2008), Liska, et al (2015)
2.2.1.The study of Sri Retno (2006)
Sri Retno (2006) from University of Sebelas Maret Surakarta uses Grice’s
theory to analyze her research entitled “An analysis of humor types and Grice’s
maxim in the situation comedy friends episode of “the one with that could have been” (a pragmatic approach”. Her study focused on humors as the deviation of the cooperative principle and its maxim. She used Grice’s theory to analyze four
maxims that is used by the character in verbal humor in the film and combined with theory of humor by Anthony L. Audrieth. She described types humor and then determined which maxims were obeyed or disobeyed to create a humor. She classified the humor utterance then described it. After that, she analyzed through Grice’s theory.
24
audiences that had significant relationship with the problem statement. From forty data available, there were thirty data, which were analyzed since they had the same characteristics with the types of humor used, and the other ten were excluded from this research. They were classified by using Audrieth’s humor
theory and further analyzed by the theory of maxims proposed by Grice. The result of her research revealed that there were eight types of humor which could be found in this episode. They were Banter, Blunder, Chain, Freudian Slip, Irony, Mistaken identity, Relapse and Repartee. Concerning with the maxims, it is found that the humors, which were used in every utterances, tend to disobey at least one of the maxims. The analysis of the maxims was conducted through the context of situation available in each data. She also found that there were three non-observances of the maxims, which were done by the characters in delivering the humor. They were flouting, violating, and infringing the maxims. The result of her research was expected to provide an additional view and information in the study of humor and its types for the students, lecturer, and other researchers who were interested in the study of humor.
Sri retno’s (2006) study focused on violating maxim, flouting maxim, and
infringing the maxim to analyze the humor in film. It has differences with the researcher’s study. The researcher uses comic as the object and multiple violation
25
2.2.2.The Study of Agus (2008)
Agus Purwanto (2008) from State Islamic University of Sunan Ampel Surabaya uses Grice’s theory to analyze his research entitled “:The Flouting of
conversational maxims by the main character in Titanic movie”. His study
focused on the flouting of conversational maxim which was violated by the main character. The statements of problem that is used to analyze this data are the types of maxim that were flouted, the reason when the main character flouted the maxim and the consequences if they flouted the maxim.
After analyzing the data, he found that there were many maxims which were flouted by Jack and Rose in Titanic. he findings showed that the flouting of maxim relevance is mostly occurred in Jack’s and Rose’s utterances. He also
found that there were many reasons which caused the main character flouted the maxims. Furthermore, according to him, the communication could still run smoothly even thought the main characters flouted the maxims. The most frequent reason used for flouting the maxim of relevance, the most reason employed by the addressee for flouting the maxim of quantity. Next to be sarcastic was the most common reason why the addressor flouted the maxim of quality. Finally, the addressor flouted the maxim of manner over flow the main characters feeling.
Agus purwanto’s (2008) study is focused on the main character which is

RESEARCH METHOD
This chapter presents the method that the researcher used for this study. It includes research design, data source, data, data collection, research instrument, and data analysis
3.1.Research design
This study applied a descriptive qualitative approach. Qualitative tends to eliminate the number and gains the words of the reason. As neuman (2007:85) in his book Basic of Social Research, “Qualitative research often rely on interpretive or critical social science, follow a non linear research, path, and speak a language of cases and contexts.” According to Cresswell (1994:1) in Arthanti (2013:38) in research design Qualitative and Quantitative approach, qualitative method is defined as inquiry process of understanding a social human problem based on building complex, holistic picture, that is formed with word, reporting detailed viewed informants, and conducted in natural setting”. In this study, the
researcher did not put numeric data because there was no question about how many and how much in the statement of problem. The researcher described the answer statements of the problem.
29
that is used to do multiple violation maxim. The theory of cooperative principle using Grice’s theory, and classified the reason to do it using Christoffersen’s
theory to collaborate with her own interpretation.
3.2.Technique of Data Collection
There are three points in technique of data collection. Those are source of data, instrument and procedure. The kinds of technique of data collection explained below.
3.2.1.Source of data
