Summary

This study was aimed at investigating types of maxims which are not observed by male and female users and how male and female users fail to observe a maxim in their conversation. This study involved 16 male and 15 female Facebook users of students majoring in English at one university in Bandung. This study applied qualitative case study method. The data were in the form of conversations in Facebook that were downloaded from August 2012 until December 2012. The data were collected through several considerations of non-observance of maxims within the conversation based on Grice's theory of conversational implicature. There were several procedures in analyzing the data: identifying, classifying, calculating, and interpreting. The findings showed that male users commonly failed to observe the maxim of relation by giving irrelevant contribution, while female users commonly failed to observe the maxim of quantity by giving more information. In addition, flouting of maxim is the most frequent non-observance of maxim that was performed by both male and female users in their conversation. Thus, both users tended to make a joke, to stay close with friends, or just to contribute the conversation when they performed such non-observance of maxims.

Terdapat beberapa prosedur dalam menganalisa data penelitian ini: mengidentifikasi, mengklasifikasi, menghitung, dan mentafsirkan. Hasil dari penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa para pengguna pria cenderung melanggar relation maxim dengan memberikan kontribusi yang tidak relevan, sementara pengguna wanita cenderung melanggar quantity maxim dengan memberikan informasi yang berlebih. Sebagai tambahan, flouting maxim ditemukan sebagai pelanggaran maxim yang paling banyak dilakukan oleh para pengguna baik pria maupun wanita. Dapat disimpulkan bahwa para pengguna cenderung menyiratkan suatu lelucon, menyiratkan keingingan tetap berkomunikasi dengan teman , atau hanya ingin berkontribusi di dalam percakapan ketika mereka melakukan pelanggaran maxim-maxim tersebut.
