Chapter I Introduction perpustakaan.uns.ac.id digilib.uns.ac.id CHAPTER I INTRODUCTION 1. Research Background Every person uses language in a communication. Language is used to have conversation in the real life. People need communication to deliver message whether verbal or non verbal. Communication is done by doing interaction to each other. People use senses that they have in communication. Therefore, they can express their idea, feeling, thinking, opinion, etc. In short, the communication will be success if the speaker and the hearer understand what they mean. However, people do not always say what they mean. In a conversation, people need to cooperate with each other, but not all the speakers are cooperative. The assumption of cooperation is so pervasive that it can be stated as a cooperative principle of conversation. The cooperative principles is elaborated in four sub principles, called maxims (Yule, 1996, p.37). Grice proposed four maxims; they are the maxim of quality, quantity, relation and manner. The four maxims must be obeyed in communication, but in the real life not all the maxims can be obeyed. There are many reasons why people failed to observe the maxims. Such as, they are incapable in speaking , etc. There are five ways of failing the maxims, i.e., Flouting a maxim, Violating a maxim, Infringing a maxim, Opting out a maxim, and Suspending a maxim. One of the categories in non-observance maxim generates implicature is flouting a maxim. Thomas (1996,commit p. 65) state to users that “a flout occurs when a speaker 1 perpustakaan.uns.ac.id digilib.uns.ac.id2 blatantly fails to observe a maxim at the level of what is said, with the deliberate intention of generating an implicature”. A speaker blatantly fails to observe a maxim, because the speaker wishes to prompt the hearer to look for a meaning which is different from the expressed meaning. This additional meaning is called implicature. Implicature itself is something meant, implied, or suggested distinct from what is said. It is clear that people do not always say what they mean. They can mean something which is different from the words they are saying. Based on phenomenon above, I interested to analyze the flouting maxim resulting implicature. The application of the flouting maxims can be seen in our daily conversation. The maxims can be found in form of entertainment such as film, drama, comedy, television series, etc. I choose Smallville Televisions Series as the source of data of the research. The Televisions Series is chosen as the source of data because its dialogues containing maxim flouting show the real example of English as used by people. Smallville Televisions Series is written by Alfred Gough and Miles Millar, directed by David Nutter, based on the “DC Comics characters Superman” created by Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster, and broadcasted by The WB and The CW. In general Televisions Series tells about the local wonder boy Clark. In October 1989, a huge meteor shower destroyed most of the town of Smallville, Kansas. Clark boy was found by Martha and Jonathan Kent on the day of the Meteor Shower. They found him inside a spaceship when the meteor shower came and adopted him. In 2001 their son became a man, Clark struggles to understand his identity, but till in high school, his parents still hide a secret from him. Clark has a commit to user perpustakaan.uns.ac.id digilib.uns.ac.id3 power that makes him confused and different with the other people, because he feels abnormal. However, Clark just seems a normal boy. He tries to develop his power and discover more abilities. In this television series, the characters often flout the maxims through their conversation. I focus on the flouting maxims that are used by the characters in televisions series. 2. Problem Statements 1) What maxims are commonly flouted by the characters in the smallville television series season 1 episode 1? 2) What implicatures are resulted by the flouts of the maxim? 3. Research Objectives 1) To find out the maxims commonly flouted by the characters in the smallville television series season 1 episode 1. 2) To find out the implicatures resulted by the flouts of the maxim. 4. Research Significance This research is important to be done to make an analysis of maxim flouting in daily conversation. There are many utterances that speakers say, and it may contain the maxim flouting. From the result of this analysis, I hope that the people who read this research can understand the utterance that flouts the maxim or fulfills the maxim, so that they can be aware with what speakers say. Then, this research is expected to make the people become aware of the maxims flouted in a daily conversation, and help them to understand the intended meaning in the conversation of daily life. commit to user perpustakaan.uns.ac.id digilib.uns.ac.id4 5. The Scope of Research The analyzing of maxim flouting in this research based on Pragmatics approach. In this research, I focus on analyzing flout of maxims and implicature used by the characters. The flout of maxim is one of the non-observance categories of conversational maxims. The speaker who fails to obverse the maxims flouts the maxim at the level of what is said, which deliberate intentionly of implicature. Therefore, this research limits to analyze the flout of maxim quality, flout of maxim quantity, flout of maxim relevance, flout of maxim manner and the implicature used by the the characters in the television series. The data are taken from smallville Television Series season 1 episode 1. 6. Research Methodology This research uses a descriptive qualitative as a method. Descriptive qualitative method is a method using technique of collecting data, arranging or classifying, analyzing, interpreting them and then drawing the conclusion (Surakhmad, 1994: 147). The research methodology will be explained clearly in chapter III. 7.

  • Crisis of Infinite Intertexts! Continuity As Adaptation in the Superman Multimedia Franchise
    Crisis of Infinite Intertexts! Continuity as Adaptation in the Superman Multimedia Franchise Jack Peterson Teiwes ORCID identifier 0000-0001-8956-1602 Doctor of Philosophy November 2015 School of Culture and Communication The University of Melbourne Submitted in total fulfillment of the requirements of the PhD degree Produced on archival quality paper Abstract Since first appearing as a comic book character over three quarters of a century ago, Superman was not only the first superhero, spawning an entire genre of imitators, but also quickly became one of the most widely disseminated multi-media entertainment franchises. This achieved a degree of intergenerational cultural dissemination that far surpasses his comic book fandom. Yet despite an unprecedented degree of adaptation into other media from radio, newspaper strips, film serials, animation, feature films, video games and television, Superman’s ongoing comic books have remained in unbroken publication, developing a long and complex history of narrative renewal and reinvention. This thesis investigates the multifaceted intertextuality between the comic book portrayals of Superman and its many adaptations over the years, including how such retellings in other media have a generally stronger cultural impact, which exerts in turn an adaptive influence upon these continuing comics’ internalised narrative continuity. I shall argue that Superman comics, as a case study for the wider phenomenon in the superhero genre, demonstrate via their frequent revisions and relaunches of continuity, a process of deeply palimpsestuous self-adaptation. The Introduction positions my research methodology in relation to intertextual theory, with an emphasis on providing terminological clarity, while Chapter 1 expands into a literature review on pertinent key scholarship on adaptation studies and the comics studies field specifically.
