Pragmatics Language Learning, Cooperative Principle, Television Talk Show Discourse, Conversational Maxims, Main Hakim SendiriAbstract
This study aims to analyze violations of the cooperative principle in the television talk show Main Hakim Sendiri broadcast on NET TV and to examine its potential as a source for pragmatics language learning. According to Grice, the cooperative principle consists of four conversational maxims, namely the maxim of quantity, the maxim of quality, the maxim of relevance, and the maxim of manner. This research employed a descriptive qualitative research design. The data were collected using observation and note-taking techniques. The subject of this study was the Main Hakim Sendiri program on NET TV, while the object of the study focused on the pragmatic analysis of the cooperative principle within television talk show discourse. Data analysis was conducted using the referential (padan) method with the basic technique of determinant element sorting (Pilah Unsur Penentu/PUP), followed by the matching-equivalence technique (Hubung Menyamakan/HBS) as an advanced analytical procedure. The findings reveal 23 instances of cooperative principle violations in the program, consisting of 3 violations of the maxim of quantity, 7 violations of the maxim of quality, 8 violations of the maxim of relevance, and 5 violations of the maxim of manner. These findings indicate that television talk show discourse, particularly Main Hakim Sendiri, can serve as an authentic and meaningful source for teaching and learning pragmatics in language education.
