Abstract

This research is aimed to identify an implicature (the types of nonobservance of cooperative principle maxims) and the violations of politeness principle maxims and to prove that the utterance is included into the conversational implicature. Also, this research is aimed to know the meaning of the utterances on the movie. The data are obtained from the dialogue Monster University movie. There are 20 data containing conversational implicature that occurs on the utterance, so that indicate non observance of cooperative principles and violating the politeness principle on the utterance. The research finding proves that the common type of non-observance maxims occurred is flouting the maxim, and the common type of violating politeness maxims occurred is violating agreement maxim. It is shown that the implicatures used by the characters in the conversation appeared because of the social distance, culture, and the background knowledge among the characters in the movie. Moreover, the implicature is used to hide conflict and dissimulating disagreement. This often arises on the utterance due to a social distance among the characters in the movie.
