Abstract

The purpose of this study was to answer the question about the existence of Gricean cooperative principles maxims in the conversations in the Pro 2 English Time of Pro 2 FM RRI Semarang and how the conversation in the above program employed and deviated the Gricean cooperative principles maxims. The data were taken from PRO 2 FM RRI Semarang station talk show namely PRO 2 English Time particularly in the edition titled Ingrid from Holland. This study applied pragmatic approach based on Gricean cooperative principles theory. Total sampling technique which included 335 utterances was used in this study. In order to ease the analysis, those 335 utterances were broken down into 391 clause forms. Those clauses later were classified based on the observation and the non observation of Gricean maxims point of view. From the analysis, there were 583 observations of Gricean cooperative principles maxims in the conversation. The observation of Gricean cooperative principles maxims was divided into 4 sub-categories with their each frequency of occurrence; they were maxim of quantity (23.68%), maxim of quality (22.98%), maxim of relation (16.98%) and maxim of manner (36.36%). Meanwhile, the second category was 198 non-observations of Gricean cooperative principles maxims in data. Nonobservation of Gricean cooperative principles was divided into 8 sub-categories with their each frequency of occurrence; they were flouting of maxim of quantity (22.72%), flouting of maxim of quality (6.56%), flouting of maxim of relation (2.02%), flouting of maxim of manner (61.61%), violating (0%), infringing (6.06%), opting out (1.01%) and suspending (0%). By conducting this research, it is expected that the final project can provide empirical evidence of the application of Gricean cooperative principles maxims in the conversation in the radio, because the conversation more or less reflects the real life situation. The conversation also describes about the observation and non-observation of the maxims and it will be beneficial to understand the way people converse to each other. This information later will also help us understand how to do effective and cooperative communication through conversation.
