Abstract

This study aims to investigate the types of conversational implicature and maxim that have been violating or flouting by Katie and Charlie in the Midnight Sun movie. In this study, researchers analyzed the types of conversational implicature along with hidden meanings and violating or flouting maxim based on Grice's (1975) theory. Researchers used descriptive qualitative methods. Researchers collected data by downloading the Midnight Sun movie script on the website. After collecting data, researchers outline the utterances included in the type of conversational implicature and give the code to the data. Then the researcher interprets the hidden meaning and classifies the utterances into violating or flouting maxim. The results of this study, researchers found particularized conversational more often used by the two main characters rather than generalized conversational implicature. Besides that, both of Katie and Charlie is violating maxim more often than flouting maxim. By studying the conversational implicature and cooperative principle the researcher is in place to express the meaning hidden by the two main characters in the Midnight Sun movie so that one might pay more attention to the hidden meaning actually conveyed by the speakers.
