Abstract :
Communicating is a social activity like we do any other special activity.
Communication activities can be realized if there are speakers and interlocutors to
interact and also exchange information. In a communication, the speaker will
convey a certain message conveyed through language and then the other person will
try to capture the meaning of the message conveyed by the speaker. So, to create
good communication between the speaker and the interlocutor must understand
each other the meaning of the message conveyed so that there is no
misunderstanding. However, in everyday life, we often encounter someone's
misunderstanding in interpreting an utterance because of the indirect meaning
conveyed by the speaker and difficult to understand by the interlocutor. This
research is qualitative research that uses a pragmatic approach to describe the
violations committed by the actors. The purpose of this study is to provide an
understanding of the forms and relevance of the flouting of maxims and
conversational implicatures in The Hustle film. The results showed that there were
4 floutings of the maxim of quality, 3 floutings of the maxim of quantity, 4 floutings
of the maxim of relevance, and 5 floutings of the maxim of manner. Of the 16
available flouting data, most of the flouting maxims of manner were found because
they were deliberately flouted to give a funny and hilarious effect to the audience.
Flouting of maxims in the principle of cooperation is also one of the causes of
conversational implicatures aimed at deceiving, creating funny effects, rejection,
and satire.
