Abstract

Human communication in everyday life is not always expressed explicitly. Many messages are conveyed through indirect communication, which is commonly called conversational implicature. Conversational implicature refers to implied
meanings that are not stated directly, but can be interpreted based on contextual cues. Context plays an important role in understanding these implicit messages,
especially when communication is affected by the emotional states of the speaker or listener. Emotional imbalance can result in deviation from cooperative principles in communication, which is referred to as flouting maxims. This study aimed to identify the types of conversational implicatures, emotions, facial expressions, and the types of flouting maxims. The study uses Grice’s (1991) theory, which
categorizes conversational implicature into two types: Generalized Conversational Implicature (GCI) and Particularized Conversational Implicature (PCI), as well as
four types of maxims: Quantity, Quality, Manner, Relation. In addition, this research also uses Ekman’s (2004) theory of basic human emotions, which includes Sadness, Anger, Fear, Disgust, Surprise, Contempt, and Happiness. The method
used is a descriptive qualitative method with a content analysis technique. The data was analyzed using the film’s dialogue transcripts along with visual analysis of the
characters’ facial expressions. A total of 19 data were identified, consisting of 12 examples of GCI and 7 examples of PCI. Emotionally, the analysis found 4 instances of sadness, 6 anger, 5 fear, 1 surprise, 2 contempt, and 1 happiness. Regarding flouting maxims, 8 examples related to quantity, 1 to quality, 9 to manner, and 1 to relation were identified. The findings underline the importance of
contextual understanding in interpreting implied meanings and emotional expressions. This research contributes to pragmatic studies by offering insights into the relationship between language, emotion, and communication dynamics in social interactions.
