Abstract

The main problem in this research is the application of cooperative principle and its maxims to convey implicit messages in conversations. Implicit messages in this case refer to implicit meaning which is just assumed by participants involved in conversations. Cooperative principle in conversation means cooperation between interlocutors in conversation to make the conversation run well. Cooperative principle is supported by four maxims, namely: maxim of quantity, maxim of quality, maxim of relevance and maxim of manner. Cooperative principle and its maxims will guide conversationalists in producing effective, efficient, rational and cooperative sentences. Maxim of quantity concerns with the amount of information given by the conversation a lists. They must give sufficient information to maintain cooperative communication, no more or less than is needed. Maxim of quality proposes that each of participants must say the truth in conversation. The statements made must be supported by sufficient evidences. Maxim of relevance is the maxim in which the conversationalists make their contribution relevant to the aims of the on-going conversation. While, maxim of manner concerns with clear information. It means that the information must not be obscure, ambiguous, wordy and disorderly. In this research, the researcher uses descriptive method because this method is considered more suitable with the problems of the research. This method is used with some steps : collecting, classifying, and analyzing the data. While, the data of this research are taken from Chung's comic Flowering of Zen in China: The Origin of Zen. In doing the research, the researcher does not use any sample because all of the data, that is, 50 conversations are analyzed one by one. The data analysis shows that the percentage of the use of maxims in the conversations is as follows: 7 (14%) conversations use maxim of quantity,5(10%) of them violate the maxim and 2 (4%) fulfill it; 15 (30%) conversations use maxim of quality, 8 (16%) of them violate the maxim and 7 (14%) fulfill it; 12(24%) conversations use maxim of relevance, 9 (18%) of them violate and 3 (6%)fulfill it; and 16 (32%) conversations use maxim of manner, 13 (26%) of them violate the maxim and 3 (6%) fulfill it. Moreover, there are 8 (16%) conversations which do not adhere cooperative principle.
