Abstract
This research aims to identify the types of maxims flouting performed by the main character, to explain the strategies used by the main character to flout the maxims and to describe the context bounded in the conversations in which the maxim flouting exist. This research employed qualitative-quantitative method. The data were in the form of utterances. The source of data was Thank You for Smoking movie and its transcript. There were two instruments that were used: the researcher and the data sheet. The researcher employed some steps to collect the data: watching the movie, downloading the transcript from the Internet and reading it, re-watching the movie and re-reading the transcript, checking the transcript, classifying the data related to the phenomena of maxim flouting, putting the data into data sheet. Triangulation technique was applied to ensure the trustworthiness of the data. There are three results in this study. The first result is that all the types of maxim are flouted by the main character. Those are maxim of quantity, maxim of quality, maxim of relation and maxim of manner. The second result is that there are six strategies used by the speaker to flout the maxims. Those strategies are giving too little information, giving too much information, hyperbole, irony, being irrelevant and being obscure. The last result reveals the setting, scene, participant, end, act, key, instrumentalities, norm and genre of the conversation found from the data. There are two genres in the conversation: formal and casual. When the main character has a formal conversation, the setting of the time frequently happens in the morning or afternoon. A formal conversation occurs when the main character talks to his boss, being a spokesperson or when he meets someone for the first time. Meanwhile, when the main character has a casual conversation, it could occur in the evening or even in the night, since the topics of the conversation are more various. For the setting of place, the conversation takes place in the various places. Then, the main character tends to have a casual conversation when he talks to his son, his friends or his family. Since the research is focused on the conversation, the instrument used is spoken. The norms of the conversation arise from the maxims that the main character flouts.
