The objective of this study is to identify the types of flouted maxim that found
in “Beastly” and to explain the factors leading the speaker flouted the maxim in
“Beastly” movie. The method of this research is descriptive method.
The corpus of the data was taken from the utterances which are spoken by the
actors/actress in “Beastly” movie and the source of data is the film/movie “Beastly”
The results of this research shows that are flouting of conversation in four
maxim namely maxim of relevance with 7 utterances, maxim of quality with 5
utterances, maxim of quantity with 4 utterances and maxim of manner with 4
utterances. Therefore it can be conclude the flouting of relevance dominate the
flouting on the utterance of the movie. It means there are many utterances of the
movie do not be relevance

by speaker and translated by hearer. Speakers sometimes use sentences which are not
related to what the exact meaning. What they literally say might have another meaning.
It means that sometimes a speaker does not always use a clear word or sentence in
conveying their purpose. The hearer sometimes gives response to the speaker’s

generated.
The Cooperative Principle consists of four maxims, they are Maxim of Quantity
In this present research, the writer try to analyze the flouting cooperative
principle in beastly movie by Daniel Branz. The reason why the writer try to take this
subject in the research because this subject is always be in every conversation and
sometimes every people is hard to understand when someone try to use this in
conversation. In the real life, sometimes people flouting cooperative principle. For
example when someone try to trap their friends, or try to hiding something. When
someone try to hiding their emotion when they are angry, they never tell that they are
angry. They just said “it’s ok” but their face is didn’t smile. They didn’t tell the truth.

movie beastly by Daniel Barnz. That movie adapted from novel beastly by Alex Finn.
The reason why the writer choose that movie, because the writer believes that there are
some characteristics of this movie has the data which the writer need to observ. When
the writer watched, the writer found some violation maxim make the writer feel excited
to take this movie as the object of this research. Here is the example of flouting
It happened when Kyle try to invite Kendra in his party. In that conversation, kyle lied
to Kendra. He said that his girl dumped him last night but in the fact his girl friend still
with him. Actually He just want to try to trap Kendra. This conversation flout maxim
It happened when kyle feel so weird after he trap Kendra. And he go out from the party.
And Kendra come to him. This conversation flout maxim of quantity because Kyle did
not give information with his feeling to Kendra. He just try to ask back to Kendra.
13
It happened when kyle try to get some help from his father but he did not get it . he
remind his father that election today and his father just say great. This conversation
flout maxim of relevance because Kyle said like that in order his father can help. But
his father just say great and call someone and leave him alone.
Kendra ; When the spring flowers bloom again, the year is up, And either the words "I
love you" will release you from the spell or stay like this forever.
Kyle ; Like what?
This conversation happened when Kendra change kyle to be an ugly man. This
conversation flout maxim of manner because Kendra did not said what kyle look like.
For the reasons, this movie become an interesting object analysis in this research.

CHAPTER II
THEORETICAL BASES
In linguistics, pragmatics deals with semantics study whether both of them are
study about meaning. The different with semantics is, pragamatics have a implied
meaning in every sentence in the utterance. So the hearers must be know the situation
or context to understand what the speaker said. Leech (1983) said “pragmatics can be
usefully defined as the study of how utterances have meanings in situations”. Beside
that according to Yule (1996 : 3) “ Pragmatics is concerned with the study of meaning
Beside that Yule also tell that “this type of study necessarily involves the interpretation
of what people mean in particular context and how the context influence what is said.
In this theory Yule explain that pragmatic is the study about what the speaker mean in
In addition Griffits (2006:1) states that Pragmatics is concerned with the use of
these tools in meaningful communication. He also said that Pragmatics is about the
interaction of semantic knowledge with our knowledge of the world, taking into
account contexts of use. He means that pragmatics is the way human communicate with
use.
16
With the explanation above the writer can conclude that pragmatics is a study
of meaning that communicated by the speaker and interpreted by the hearer and have
a meaning in situation.
Conversation
When you try to talk with someone, and someone respond or reply what you
talk, without you realized you were trying to build conversation. Beside that the speaker
and the hearer must know or understand what they talking about, to build a good
unplanned. It means that conversation must be two or more than that to do that because
when someone try to build some conversation it must be negotiated between speakers
and hearers. When someone try to build conversation it has beginning, middle and end.
According to Cook (in Cutting 2002), the term of conversation has some
characteristics as follow:
5. Talk is primarily for the participants and not for an outside audience.
Prior to or the beginning of a conversation, participants often frame the event. That is,
they make clear to each other the intended nature of the conversation to be.
17
Implicature
The word “implicature” is derived from the verb “to imply” to tell something
into something else. In other word it can be said “indirect” or saying A through B.
being part of what is said.” It means that’s implicature does not just to see of what the
speaker said it more than to see what the speaker mean. Furthermore according to
utterance of a sentence in a context even though that proposition is not a part of nor an
entailment of what was actually said. Gazard believe that implicature is a utterance that
Beside that Yule ( 1996 : 35) state that “when the listener hears the expression,
he first has to assume that the speaker is being cooperative and intends to communicate
something. That something must be more than just words mean. It is an additional
conveyed meaning, called an implicature”. It means that when the listener hears the
utterance, the listener must know that what the speaker means. It can be something that
Keidler (1998 : 301 ) state that” implicature A meaning derived not from what
is said but deduced from the necessary way of interpreting what is said”. He think that
when someone use implicature , it is not the real meaning that what they said, but it has
implied meaning in every word that they said. Furthermore, according to Riemer (2010
:118 ) ” the implicatures of an utterance are what it is necessary to believe the speaker
18
is thinking, and intending the hearer to think, in order to account for what they are
saying”.
So with all the theory above, I can conclude that, implicature is an utterance
that speaker said, with have an implied meaning and will be interprate by the hearer
based on the context. There are 2 parts of implicature. They are conventional
implicature and conversational implicature. But in this research, the writer just
cooperative principle.
Conversational Implicature
inferences that depend on the existence of norms for the use of language, such as the
widespread agreement that communicators should aim to tell the truth. Beside that,
Riemer ( 2010 : 118) argued “Conversational implicatures are those that arise in
conventional force: the choice of the term ‘conversational’ is explained by the fact that
Grice’s examples are mostly taken from imagined conversations.” It means that
conversational implicature is sentence that arise when the speaker use context to

the cooperative principle or the maxims. They do not have to occur in conversation,
and they do not depend on special contexts for their interpretation. Same with lexical
presuppositions, conventional implicatures are associated with specific words and have
a result in additional conveyed meanings when those words are used (George Yule,
1996: 45).
Maxim of Grice
Identified some of the communicational norms and showed how they are
involved in the reasoning that makes it possible for utterances to convey rather more
than is literally encoded in the underlying sentences. He proposed that four “maxims”

1. Maxim of quantity
2. Maxim of Quality
ii. Do not say that for which you lack adequate evidence
20
3. Maxim of relation
i. Be relevant
4. Maxim of manner
iii. Be brief
iv. Be orderly
Cutting (2002:37) state that when speaker appear not to follow the maxims but
expect hearers to appreciate the meaning implied, we say that they are ‘flouting’ the
maxims. According to Cruse (2000: 360) the other ways in which implicature arise are

Synopsis of beastly
Kyle Kingson (Alex Pettyfer) is the arrogant and vain son of wealthy and equally as
arrogant and vain news anchor Rob Kingston (Peter Krause). When he wins student
body president, he bullies the eccentric Kendra Hilferty (Mary-Kate Olsen) for being
ugly and strange at the after-party. Disgusted, Kendra magically transforms Kyle into
a bald, tattooed and scarred shell of his once-handsome self. Kendra says Kyle has until
the next spring to find someone who loves him or he stays this way forever. Rob takes
Kyle to live in a private condo with their maid, Zola (Lisa Gay Hamilton), and Kyle's
blind tutor, Will Fratalli (Neil Patrick Harris). Rob initially promises to support his son,
but gradually neglects his son over time and stops visiting him after work altogether.
Angry and hurt, Kyle finds sympathy from Will and Zola.
As spring draws closer, Kyle finds himself infatuated with Lindy Taylor (Vanessa
Hudgens), a girl from his former school who he had initially been as distant to as he
was to Kendra. When Lindy and her father are about to be mugged by two brothers on
the street, Lindy's father shoots one of the brothers, the surviving one vowing
vengeance by taking Lindy's life. Kyle saves Lindy and her father, and arranges for
Lindy to move in with him for her own safety. Initially, Lindy is furious about hiding,
since she was to go to Machu Picchu on a field trip - but after she claims she's seen
worse when Kyle reveals himself to her (now calling himself "Hunter" around her),
they warm up to each other. Kyle writes a letter to Lindy professing his love to her, but
he never plans to give it to her, in fear of Lindy not feeling the same way. Will and
24
Zola continue to help Kyle win her over, as the two begin to fall in love. In time, he
completely wins her over when they read Frank O'Hara's poem "Having a Coke with
You" together out loud. Closer to spring, Kyle makes a deal with Kendra that if he
succeeds in winning Lindy's heart, she will restore Will's vision and grant citizenship
Lindy receives a text message from her father that the criminal who threatened her life
is in jail. She and Kyle spend an afternoon at one of Rob's private cottages on a lake.
As they are about to kiss, Lindy receives a call notifying her that her father overdosed
and is in a hospital. She leaves to see her father, and Kyle gives her his letter, but regrets
doing so when she tells him he's a good friend before leaving. Heartbroken, Kyle does
not answer Lindy's phone calls, after she reads his letter. Inspired by Will and Zola,
Kyle goes to meet Lindy one last time before she leaves for Machu Picchu, and explains
he did not answer her calls because he thought she only liked him as a friend. Lindy
professes her love, and departs for Machu Picchu. Kyle's normal, handsome self is
restored with Kendra's spell broken, but Lindy decides against leaving and tries to find
"Hunter" again. She initially ignores Kyle while searching for Hunter, only for Kyle's
phone to ring when she calls "Hunter". Realizing Hunter was Kyle, the two share a kiss
in the street.
Will wakes up one morning and to his delight can see again. Zola finds three green
cards for her children in the mail from the government. Kendra is also seen approaching
Rob Kingson's office as a new intern, implying that Kendra will likely do the same
25
thing to Rob as she did to Kyle. In the credits, a series of photographs show that Kyle
and Lindy went around the world together - including Machu Picchu.

This is the conversation between Kyle and Will. Kyle asks about who knock
his door by saying “who’re you”?. Then Will answers Kyle’s question by saying
“Mary Poppins. The tutor. Uh, your dad hired me. I'm supposed to move in today.”. In
this case, Will attempts flouting maxim quantity because he gives more information

Based on conversation above, Kyle utterances “Deep-fried barbie doll

violates this maxim because he tries to trap Kendra. So he doesn’t tell the truth,
Kyle doesn’t broke with his girlfriend yet. according to Grice theory that the
rules of maxim quality is do not say what you believe to be false and do not say
that for which you lack adequate evidence, and Kyle’s utterance doesn’t tell the
truth. Thus the writer said that Kyle violates the maxim quality.

giving the irrelevant answer. Kyle asks, what will he do if he take a picture for
school newspaper and Lindy answers that question by saying “I'm worthy of

that “You know what? Obviously, he forgot to spin the borderline hostile act
of hiring a blind guy to tutor his creep show son. As for learning calculus, I
think I'll take a pass” and Will just answer of what he ask with “nice to meet
you”. Actually, what Will respond about Kyle’s statement is very irrelevant.
Hence, the writer concludes that this conversation violates the maxim of
relevance

Context : This context happens when they talk each other and will says that
he goes to school, so Kyle surprised because his blind teacher ever
go to school .
Kyle : You went to regular school?
Will : At fifteen, my friends lost their virginity. I lost my sight.
Will violates this maxim because she does not give a relevant answer
to Kyle’s question. In the dialogue above, Kyle asks Will by saying “You went
to regular school?” it means Kyle just want to know if Will ever go to school
or no. in fact, will does not give the appropriate answer to Kyle. He replays
Kyle’s saying with “At fifteen, my friends lost their virginity. I lost my sight”.

Kyle : Isn't the benefit of having no parents that you have no parents?
Kyle violates this maxim because he does not give a relevant answer to Will’s
question. In the dialogue above, Will asks Kyle by saying “Where'd you go?” it means
that Will wants to know where Kyle go last night. In fact, Kyle does not give the
appropriate answers to Will. He replies Will by saying “Isn't the benefit of having no
parents that you have no parents?” this answer is irrelevant with Will’s question.

though he was blind. Kyle was so surprised to see the blind man is playing dart
and he can throw it.
Kyle : How do you do that?
Will : I went to this dance and
some emo chick gave me a dart hex.
Point out on Kyle’s question when he surprised that Will can throw the dart,
Will’s answer is not relevant. Kyle ask him “how do you do that” If it correlates
to the context from this conversation, Kyle wonders how Will throw the dart
while Will was blind. But Will just answer with “I went to this dance and some
emo chick gave me a dart hex “ the answer is irrelevant with question which
addressed to him. meanwhile the rules of maxim of relevance that the speaker

of manner suggest being clear. Based on to the dialogue, Kyle gives obscure idea when
he utters “Vicious gossip”. He does not reply Kendra’s question by a clear answer.

Context : This conversation happens when Lindy try to find hunter after she
said “I love you to hunter”.
Kyle : It's about a guy, good-looking on the outside, ugly on the inside. And
there's a curse. Love-Love changes him.
Lindy : Everyone know the story
Kyle : What if it wasn't a story? What if it were true?
In this conversation, Kyle’s utterance violate the maxim of manner because his
utterance is not clear. He explains to lindy about people that can change and
lindy doesn’t understand what Kyle is talking about. Actually if Kyle tells that
he is hunter that conversation will not violate the maxim. Yet, she explains
about the people that can change because someone tell “I love you” to him.

will be able to imagine what the utterance did not say, and make the connection
between their utterance and the preceding one. In the data example above the writer
can assume that Will utterance flouting maxim of relevance because what kyle ask to

expression (ii.) Avoid ambiguity (iii) Be brief, and (iv) Be orderly. The function
of this maxim is to avoid ambiguity. Ambiguity here means that it will lead the
hearer to the contextual ambiguity (Cruse, 2000:357). The speaker has to speak
briefly and orderly without reducing the meaning of the speech. It will reduce
flouting that maxim of manner. It is because she doesn’t explain about what
happen with Kyle. She just explain how to make his face be normal again, but
she doesn’t explain about Kyle’s face. She just mention “like this” and it makes
that utterance is not clear. In fact, Kyle asks her back like what. then,
considering the previous theory from Grice that maxim of manner consist of
