INTRODUCTION
Background of Study
Language as a mean of communication is the way of behaving to interact one another to represent their ideas a
thought of men’s minds be conveyed from one another. It will be difficult to express our intention to our liste
without language. For example, when a child wanted to have a lunch s/he would have to use signs such as pointing
to her/his mouth and stomach. S/he would not be able to tell at once what s/he meant is s/he was hungry, then the
will be misunderstanding.
Language is used such in conversation. Conversation itself is a communication which is done by two or m
people where there is (are) the speaker(s) and the listener(s). To build a meaningful conversation, it is important t
both speaker and listener have the same interpretation about intended meaning in utterance. In other word, listener c
not grasp what the speaker meant. This case is called cooperative principle. It is a rule that should be obeyed to achie
a cooperative communication among them. The cooperative principle describes how people interact with one anot
(Yule, 1996 : 36).
The most important thing in using language as a means communication is the message carried, which is cal
meaning. Language without meaning is useless.
