Abstract

This study aims to identify the types of implicature and racism in the appearance of a stand-up comedian, Chris, in 2018. Several questions are investigated, including: (1) What types of implicature are used in Chris Rock's stand-up special comedy show “Tamborine” (2018), (2) What are the intentions of racist utterances used in Chris Rock’s stand-up comedy specials “Tamborine” (2018). Overmore, the researcher answers some of these problems using a descriptive qualitative approach. A descriptive qualitative approach using implicature theory from Yule (1996) and racism from Jones (2000) is also used to obtain proper speech data analysis. These utterances are taken from the transcription of the performance video, which has been carefully observed to obtain the required data. This study found that there are three types of implicature and two types of racism contained in this study. In detail, thirty utterances contained types of implicature uttered by Chris. Based on the data analysis, Chris mostly used conventional implicature with fifteen utterances, four particularized conversational implicatures, and eleven generalized conversational implicatures. On the other hand, Chris predominantly uses personally mediated racism with five utterances, followed by two institutionalized racism. In this study, the researchers did not find any internalized racism. Then, the researcher found three personally mediated racism and conventional implicature, two personally mediated racism and generalized conversational implicature, two institutionalized racism and particularized conversational implicatures, and one institutionalized racism and conventional implicature.
