Abstract
This research belongs to pragmatics study. There are two objectives of this research. They are to identify the types of maxim flouting and to identify the strategies of maxim flouting performed by the characters in This Boy’s Life movie. Qualitative-quantitative method was applied by the researcher. Qualitative method was concerned with the description of the data in the form of utterances which were performed by the characters in which maxim flouting exists. Meanwhile, the use of quantitative method was only to determine the percentage of the data. In conducting this research, the researcher became the main instrument. Meanwhile, data sheet became the secondary instrument. The form of the data was lingual units consisting of words, phrases, clauses, and sentences. The contexts of the data were dialogues. Moreover, This Boy’s Life movie and its transcript became the sources of the data. The data were collected by using visual analysis from the dialogues which contained maxim flouting. In analyzing this research, the researcher (1) identifying the data, (2) classifying and coding the data, (3) analyzing the classified and coded data, (4) checking the accuracy of the analyzed data, (5) reporting and drawing the conclusions of the data. Routine consultations and peer discussion were also employed to ensure the trustworthiness of this research. All maxims of Cooperative Principle are flouted by using some strategies. They are maxim of quantity, maxim of quality, maxim of relation, and maxim of manner. Overstatement and understatement are the strategies which are used to flout maxim of quantity. Then, metaphor, hyperbole, irony, and sarcasm, are the strategies which are used to flout maxim of quality. Meanwhile, changing the topic is the strategy to flout maxim of relation. Finally, being obscure becomes the strategy to flout maxim of manner. In This Boy’s Life, quantity maxim flouting is the most often used types of maxim flouting. The strategy which is mostly used to flout this maxim is overstatement. It happens because there is a character named Dwight who wants to dominate the other characters. There is also the other character named Toby who often flouts the maxims by giving too much information to prove that what his stepfather thinks to control the other characters is false.
