CHAPTER III: RESEARCH FINDINGS
B. Data Analysis
wouldn't it?
Cristiano: Yeah, of course. But as people now are like Manchester United, I love that club but future, nobody knows but right now I feel good and I feel happy in Real Madrid.
understands what Cristiano implies in his answer. The implicature that produced in this datum is Cristiano wants to inform Jonathan that his reputation as a football star, who is hugely famous and known all over the world, he has an unlimited busyness and only has a little spare-time in his life. The conversational implicature that contains in this datum is particularized conversational implicature because it requires special knowledge that the listeners have to know about Cristiano Ronaldo first before getting to understand what he implies in his utterance.
Datum 2 (01.22 – 02.06)
Cristiano: Well it was an unbelievable feeling and I was here in England for six years yeah and I respect English people a lot because they are very polite and their respect.
Jonathan: That‟s like our warning.
Cristiano: That is true, the time that I spend here, the people treat me unbelievable and I‟m never going to forget that. So this is why I say and I'm going to repeat English people they are polite for me because they respect that.
Jonathan: Let's talk about the Ballon d'Or. The Ballon d'Or is FIFA's kind of idea of who is the best overall footballer this last year.
Cristiano: Yeah.
Cristiano got a very rousing welcome from the audiences at the show located in England when he walked into the stage. Jonathan told to him that the audiences were very excited to see him on the show. That is why Cristiano was very impressed with the hospitality of British people that treated him very well while he stayed in that country for six years. All of Cristiano‟s utterances in the datum above are about the friendliness that British people have towards him, yet Jonathan‟s answer is completely unrelated on what Cristiano said previously by saying “Let's talk about the
Ballon d'Or. The Ballon d'Or is FIFA's kind of idea of who is the best overall footballer this last year.” Jonathan generates an implicature that he actually intends to persuade Cristiano to another interesting topic with this answer. And this non-observance of maxims is classified into flouting a maxim of relation.
Same as the previous datum, the conversational implicature that contains in this datum is particularized conversational implicature because it also requires special knowledge such as FIFA‟s Ballon D‟Or that could only be known to people who understands football. Ballon D‟Or is the achievement from FIFA (Fédération Internationale de Football Association) to the players who have a great season with his club or his nation within a year.
Datum 3 (03.27 – 03.46)
Jonathan: It's not that I don't like a very good relationship. Lucky is he wearing. So let me talk about your time here with Manchester United then. How old were you when you came over to join Manchester United that you were just…
Cristiano: Eighteen.
Jonathan talks about Cristiano‟s rival in the world of football, who is Lionel Messi. He asked how the relationship between them both is, and Cristiano explained that actually he has a good relationship with the person that the people assumed as his rival, Lionel Messi. Jonathan decides to ask this because there is a picture of them sitting side by side while attending FIFA‟s Ballon D‟Or. This datum also contains flouting a maxim of relation as in the previous one indicated by Jonathan‟s utterance
that seemed irrelevant with the topic he discussed recently by saying "So let me talk about your time here with Manchester United then. How old were you when you came over to join Manchester United that you were just…” which also produce an implicature that Jonathan has nothing to discussed about Lionel Messi and tends to take Cristiano into another topic. This non-observance of maxims also generates particularized conversational implicature because it is indeed not a common knowledge that everyone has towards football and realize that Manchester United is actually a football club in England which has been played by Cristiano for six years.
Datum 4 (03.47 – 04.54)
Jonathan: Eighteen years old and you‟d already left home at twelve I think to go to Lisbon. So you are used to living with mom but coming here and meeting British people and having to what we saw Alex Ferguson.
That must have been quite a shock in some ways I mention.
Cristiano: Not really, it was the key why I’m moving here to England and because I had I remember the conversation with him when we play a Sporting against Manchester and we are the a quick shot and he tell me, listen I’m interesting on you I want that you enjoying as we in Manchester, it was a key. So its unbelievable person they treat me a very good is as I say many times he’s like a father for me in football. So I have to appreciate what he did for me. I past six years in Manchester, very good, I win many titles in terms of collective and individual some it was unbelievable timing for me here in England.
Jonathan: But your English now it’s very good.
Cristiano: Well, I try my best you know.
In this datum, Jonathan started to talk about Sir Alex Ferguson, the person that became the most important figures in Cristiano‟s career as a footballer. Cristiano also explained why he decided to move to England and joined Manchester United. Jonathan asked about how Cristiano felt
when he moved to England for the first time. Yet Cristiano‟s answer seems to give too much information in his answer by saying “Not really, it was the key why I‟m moving here to England and because I had I remember the conversation with him when we play a Sporting against Manchester and we are the a quick shot and he tell me, listen I‟m interesting on you I want that you enjoying as we in Manchester, it was a key. So its unbelievable person they treat me a very good is as I say many times he‟s like a father for me in football. So I have to appreciate what he did for me. I past six years in Manchester, very good, I win many titles in terms of collective and individual some it was unbelievable timing for me here in England.” According to this utterance, Jonathan is only asked about how Cristiano feels when he moved and had stayed in England for six years, but Cristiano‟s answer creates an implicature that he wants to share all of his accomplishments while he stayed in England to the audience by mentioning how many titles he achieved during his time in England which was actually not being asked at all by Jonathan. Therefore, these utterances is considered as flouting a maxim of quantity. Then, Jonathan replies Cristiano‟s utterance with irrelevant answer by saying
“But your English now, it‟s very good.” The reason why his answer is irrelevant with Cristiano‟s utterance is because Jonathan implies that he does not respond to Cristiano‟s answer which is talking about his life and career in England for six years. Instead, Jonathan replies with how good Cristiano is in speaking English. Hence, Jonathan has performed flouting a
maxim of relation in his utterance. The conversational implicature that contains in this datum is particularized conversational implicature for the flouting a maxim of quantity because not every people know and recognize Sir Alex Ferguson, only few people that understand football. For the flouting a maxim of relation, the conversational implicature produced is generalized conversational implicature because it does not require special knowledge and everyone knows English.
Datum 5 (07.32 – 08.41)
Jonathan: You talk about that in the film. Why do the film who came to use them? How did it added the film when all that happen? And what was it that made you want to do it? What did you want to share what message you want to send down?
Cristiano: Well basically when the universal coming to me and to my team say, listen, I'm interesting to do the commentary about you. It was like in the beginning and I just I mean shocked. Movie about me?
Jonathan: Why me? Why not Lionel Messi?
Cristiano: Yeah because they are looking for the best player in the world. And I think the end of the day, the last results it's good. I'm not shows something fake, it's me the people who really know me. My friends and my family and then they're not going to surprise but I did the movie for my fans as you know the guy who have more followers it's me not by coincidence is because people like me yeah, probably.
Jonathan started to talk about Cristiano‟s movie entitled “Ronaldo”
because he was curious about it and he wanted to know what makes producer desires to make a documentary film about Cristiano. When he asked why the producer decided to make a movie about Ronaldo instead of Lionel Messi, Cristiano replied surprisingly “Yeah because they are looking for the best player in the world.” This kind of utterance is classified into violating a maxim of quality, because he created an implicature that he declared himself as the best player in the world, which
makes Jonathan and all of the audiences believe that he is the best footballer in the world. The reality is a lot of players that might be as good as him or even better than him that we have not known before. This kind of non-observance of maxims also generates particularized conversational implicature that only people who know and understand football will recognize both Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi are great players and cannot be compared to each other because they both have amazing skills and have a lot of achievements during their careers as a footballer.
Datum 6 (09.34 – 09.40)
Jonathan: Yeah, what you gonna do about that?
Cristiano: But he changes his mind every second you know yeah kids.
Jonathan: How old is he now?
Cristiano: Five.
Previously, there is a cut-scene of Ronaldo‟s movie that shows the togetherness between Cristiano and his son. In the movie, his son tells Cristiano that actually he wants to be a goalkeeper in the future. And Jonathan is asking about Cristiano‟s opinion about his son‟s desire. Yet Cristiano‟s answer seemed ambiguous by saying “But he changes his mind every second you know yeah kids.” He ambiguously said “you know yeah kids” because we do not know which aspects of the kids that Cristiano meant in his utterance. But likely Cristiano wants to create an implicature in his answer that actually he expects that someday his son will change his mind not to be a goalkeeper in the future. And the presenter, Jonathan Ross seemed understood what Cristiano meant and that is why those utterances classified as a flouting a maxim of manner. This datum contains
generalized conversational implicature because every people know what it feels to have five-year old kids and how to understand the way they think in their age.
Datum 7 (09.40 – 09.52) Jonathan: How old is he now?
Cristiano: Five.
Jonathan: Okay.
Cristiano: Yeah five. And it changes mind all the time but going to be whatever you want and I'm not I'm not I don't make pressure because my father's and my mom never make it pressure to me so I'm not going to do some way.
The context of this datum is that Cristiano stated that he gave a freedom to his son, about what he wants to be in the future. As a continuation of the topic from previous datum, Cristiano explained that actually he did not have a problem if his son had truly wanted to be a goalkeeper; moreover, he added too much information that totally were not being asked by Jonathan by saying “Yeah five. And it changes mind all the time but going to be whatever you want and I'm not I'm not I don't make pressure because my father's and my mom never make it pressure to me so I'm not going to do some way.” However, Jonathan did not ask for further explanation about his five-year old son, and how Cristiano was treated by his parents when he was still five. But Cristiano generates an implicature that he wants to give the reason why he liberates his child about what he wants to be in the future. Therefore, this type of non-observance of maxims is considered as a flouting a maxim of quantity. While the conversational implicature that contained in this datum is generalized
conversational implicature because it still discuss Cristiano‟s son and does not have a special knowledge to understand the context.
Datum 8 (10.21 – 10.53) Jonathan: What about Messi?
Cristiano: No problem. If you‟ll do that it's because he is smart you know, he is a good players.
Jonathan: That's fair enough, that's a good point. Your mother obviously is a hugely important part of your life, she figures quite heavily in the movie. She's a passionate supporter, she loves whole family you can see that. But one thing that amazed me is that she says in the film and you're there that you were an unwanted child she didn't want to keep you.
The reason why Jonathan returned to talk about Messi was because there was a picture of Rooney‟s son that had a temporary tattoo of figures of Cristiano Ronaldo on his arms. Then he asked to Cristiano what if his son do the same thing with the Messi figures on his arms too. However, Jonathan responded to Cristiano‟s answer unrelatedly. After Cristiano stated that actually he allowed his son if he wanted to have a Messi tattoo on his arms, Jonathan created an implicature that he seemed to take Cristiano to discuss another topic, which was about his mother by saying
“Your mother obviously is a hugely important part of your life, she figures quite heavily in the movie. She's a passionate supporter, she loves whole family you can see that. But one thing that amazed me is that she says in the film and you're there that you were an unwanted child she didn't want to keep you.” Therefore, Jonathan had performed a flouting a maxim of relation in his utterance. The type of conversational implicature in this datum is particularized conversational implicature because only Jonathan
and Cristiano both who understands the context which is the role of Cristiano‟s mother in his career in football.
Datum 9 (10.54 – 11.04)
Jonathan: That must be a shocking thing the first time you hear that. That must be…
Cristiano: No.
Jonathan: But for you to hear that I know I know it happens a lot.
Cristiano: That means nothing in my mind. Nothing.
In this datum, Jonathan was asking how actually Cristiano‟s feeling when he knew that he had been an unwanted child, yet Cristiano generates an implicature that likely he was hiding his true feelings about his mother by saying “No” and “That means nothing in my mind. Nothing.” And his answer is considered as a lie and it is classified into violating a maxim of quality because it is nearly impossible if someone gets told by their parents that actually they are an unwanted child like Cristiano. It must affect to their life even a little. Turns out Cristiano states that those issues means nothing in his life. Hence, this datum contains a particularized conversational implicature because it discusses Cristiano‟s mother personality that obviously only be known by her own son, which is Cristiano Ronaldo himself.
Datum 10 (11.04 – 11.31)
Jonathan: You see in the film how stressed she gets. She's very involved in your career when she sees you playing. I mean it's almost too much for her sometimes.
Cristiano: Too much.
Jonathan: Yeah and she takes tranquilizers to help her get through this.
How does that affect you though knowing you're playing but knowing she is going to that as well does that ever figure in your mind doing a match or…
Cristiano: No, I just make a rule. Big games you know, she cannot watch.
It‟s true.
Jonathan: Yeah.
The context in this datum was about Ronaldo‟s movie; his mother definitely has a huge effect to Cristiano‟s career. In the movie, she expresses how much she cares for him. The movie also tells that his mother has a problem with her health which makes Jonathan ask about the condition of her mother when she is attending to Cristiano‟s match and says “I mean it's almost too much for her sometimes.” But Cristiano responded with a very little information by only repeating what Jonathan said which is “too much” whereas Jonathan is expecting more explanation from Cristiano about his mother‟s condition. The implicature that contained in Cristiano‟s utterance is he does not want to expose his mother‟s health condition and what sickness she had to public. Therefore, the non-observance of the maxim in this datum is flouting a maxim of quantity and also generates a particularized conversational implicature because the topic of the context is about Cristiano‟s mother health condition, which is only be known by him as her son.
Datum 11 (11.42 – 12.04)
Jonathan: And how important is she to you now? For example, if someone if you had a friend who didn't show love to your mother respect your mother, how long would they stay a friend for?
Cristiano: They’re never going to be with me next to me because I have security and making me sleep. So it's something.
In this datum, Jonathan was giving a question about all of Cristiano‟s friends who do not show respect to his mother as they have towards him then Cristiano concluded that all of his friends have to respect
his mother as well as they respect him because she has an important role in Cristiano‟s career. Meanwhile, to those who do not show respect to his mother will never be Cristiano‟s friend. Yet he stated it in an ambiguous way by saying “They‟re never going to be with me next to me because I have security and making me sleep. So it's something.” In his utterance, the sentence “I have security and making me sleep” is considered as an ambiguous expression because we do not know precisely which security who can make him sleep. It is definitely not the actual security that makes Cristiano sleep. However, Cristiano creates an implicature that the security he meant is actually his own mother. And Jonathan seemed understand on what Cristiano meant in his utterance. Therefore, particularized conversational implicature contained in this datum because it requires special knowledge to comprehend the context as it has been owned by Jonathan so that he can know what Cristiano actually meant in his words.
Datum 12 (12.07 – 13.01)
Jonathan: Okay okay. Let me ask you this. Once again this is touched upon in the film of course you have never revealed and I don't think you have intend to reveal or share the identity of the mother of your son? Ok Cristiano‟s mother. And the thing that occurred to me watching the film was your mother is so central and important to your life but he does not have that relationship with his mother.
Cristiano: Mmm…
Jonathan: Surely that must concern you.
Cristiano: For me is not is not a problem. Are you see in the world's many kids don't have mom and don‟t have dad or dead as die your mom's died on they beat him up. Cristiano‟s dad, unbelievable dad. And grandfather, grandmother have support of my family.
Jonathan: Yeah.
Jonathan started to ask about the identity of Cristiano‟s son mother.
He was wandering why Cristiano had never revealed the identity of the
