ABSTRACT
MONITA INDAYARTI. 2012. The Flouting of Implicature in The Kings
Speech (Pragmatic Approach) (Supervised by Simon Sitoto and Sukmawati).
This study aimed at describing the flouting of implicature that implied in each
utterance that became the main data, and explaining reason why the speakers violate
it.
In analyzing data, the writer used descriptive method. The data were collected
by library and field research used purposive sampling method. The data were
analyzed using a pragmatic approach. The data related to the flouting of implicatures
were elaborated clearly by using cooperative principle and politeness principle.
The results of the analysis show that in the English movie entitled The Kings
Speech the speakers tend to flout the implicature in their utterances. Using Gricean
analysis, the implicatures of the utterances of the speakers flout the conversational
maxim: 10 utterances flout the maxim of relevance, 4 utterances flout the maxim of
quality, 4 utterances flout the maxim of quantity, and 4 utterances flout the maxim
manner. Using Lakoffs analysis, the utterances of the speakers flout maxim of
politeness principle: 7 utterances flout do not impose, 1 utterance flouts give the
hearer option and 11 utterances flout make the addressee feel good. Besides, the
results also show that the speakers violate the maxims of cooperative principle
because they assume the hearer already understand what they mean, they want to hide
what their actual mean and make their utterance looks more polite; and the speakers
violate the maxims of politeness principle because they want to express their feelings
to the hearers of the situation they face, to ensure their wishes and intention to the
hearer because they think their wishes are very important.

ABSTRAK
MONITA INDAYARTI. 2012. The Flouting of Implicature in The Kings
Speech (Pendekatan Pragmatik) (Dibimbing oleh Simon Sitoto dan Sukmawati).
Tujuan dari penelitian ini yaitu untuk memaparkan tentang pelanggaran
implikatur yang terjadi dalam setiap tuturan yang kemudian menjadi data utama, dan
menjelaskan tentang alasan mengapa para tokoh melanggarnya.
Dalam menganalisis data, penulis menggunakan metode deskriptif. Data
dikumpulkan melalui studi pustaka dan lapangan dengan menggunakan metode
purposive sampling. Kemudian data yang berkaitan dengan pelanggaran implikatur
dipaparkan secara jelas dengan menggunakan prinsip kerjasama dan prinsip
kesopanan.
Hasil dari analisis menunjukan bahwa dalam film yang berjudul The Kings
Speech, para tokoh cenderung melanggar implikatur dalam tuturannya. Dengan
menggunakan teori Grice, para tokoh melanggar maxim percakapan: 10 tuturan
melanggar maxim of hubungan, 4 tuturan melanggar maxim of kualitas, 4 tuturan
melanggar maxim kuantitas, and 4 tuturan melanggar maxim cara. Dengan
menggunakan teory Lakoff, para tokoh melanggar maxim dari prinsip kesopanan: 7
tuturan melanggar maxim jangan memaksa, 1 tuturan melanggar maxim berikan
pilihan kepada pendengar dan 11 tuturan melanggar maxim buat pendengar merasa
nyaman. Disamping itu, hasil juga menunjukan bahwa para tokoh melanggar maxim
dari prinsip kerjasama karena mereka berasumsi bahwa pendengar telah mengerti apa
yang mereka maksud, mereka ingin meyembunyikan maksud yang sebenarnya dan
membuat perkataan mereka tampak sopan; dan para tokoh melanggar maxim dari
prinsip kesopanan karena mereka ingin mengungkapkan perasaan mereka kepada
pendengar terhadap situasi yang mereka hadapi, dan mereka ingin meyakinkan
pendengar tentang maksud dan keinginan mereka karena mereka berpikir apa yang
mereka inginkan itu sangat penting.
