AN ANALYSIS OF MAXIM OF MANNER AND MAXIM OF RELEVANCE ON FACEBOOK STATUS AND COMMENTS
Abstract
Communication is the most often done by people, and expressing
idea is one of our daily activity where their spoken or written sentence related
to any kinds of maxims, but sometimes they have misunderstanding during the
communication . According to H.P Grice (1913-88) the maxims are general
principles which are thought to underlie the efficient use of language, and
which together identify general co-operative principle. The researcher focuses
to the two maxims, the Maxim of Manner and Maxim of Relevance. The
researcher uses descriptive qualitative design. This research is categorized as
qualitative research, because the researcher presents the data by describing and
interpreting the data based on the maxims criteria. The result of the research is
that the status updaters use different utterance to show and invite the
commentators to be able to interpret the ideas go, while the commentators have
interpretation option in interpreting the status based on the maxim criteria and
the principle of co-operation maxim.
