“…For example, flouting the maxim of quantity occurs when the speaker tells very little or too much information in the conversation. A study by Giriyani & Efransyah (2020) shows the flouting of four maxims in an animated movie entitled UP! They find that in flouting the maxim of quantity, the movie images it through the inconsistency and repeated sentences to be said at one time by the characters.…”

“…However, sometimes it is categorized as flouting the maxim because the speaker says too many or too few words unnecessary for the interlocutor to hear (Giriyani & Efransyah, 2020). It can be said that without an extended explanation, the answer can be accepted and it can maximize inappropriate answers.…”

Facing the advancement of the technology era, there is increasing awareness about integrating intercultural communicative competence in the English language teaching process. Because many people from diverse cultural backgrounds talk in English, students should acquire that competence to compete globally. To produce appropriate conversation, Grice proposes four maxims that should be obeyed, called cooperative principles. However, because of a cross-cultural situation, someone can flout the maxim as part of communication. Therefore, the present study discusses the type and the reason for flouting maxims done by the characters in a movie which is a good learning medium to teach in a classroom. Furthermore, this study wanted to explore the cause of why the movie could be an opportunity for the teacher to increase students’ intercultural literacy through the English teaching and learning process. The data gathered from the movie script and the character’s behavior in a cross-cultural situation will be analyzed through content and thematic analysis. The result showed the figures of the movie flouted the maxim of quantity, quality, relevance, and manner. Humor intention, conviviality, enmity, elaborate explanation, prestige, mocking, and stating opinion were found in the movie as the characters’ motivation why they flout the maxim. The movie had an opportunity to improve students’ intercultural literacy by studying the characters’ communication and behavior. It contained understanding, competence, attitude, participation, and language that could equip students in improving their intercultural literacy.Keywords: Flouting maxim, Intercultural literacy, Movie Study

“…The episode group encompasses a typical story. Past research has investigated the CP as it is observed, or not observed, by characters in various television series (Giriyani & Efransyah, 2020;Sapalakkai, 2018;Sommai, 2013). However, only a small amount of research has focused on one particular maxim (Khosravizadeh & Sadehvandi, 2011) performed, in this case, by a character playing the role of an autistic doctor.…”

Studies of Autism Spectrum Disorder have focused exclusively on how the Gricean Maxims are violated in persons with autism. Investigators typically draw the plausible conclusion that individuals with ASD are deficient in pragmatic ability and theory of mind, communicating in patterns that deviate from the norm. A few studies have investigated how autistic people observe the Maxim of Quality when examining communication difficulties of individuals with ASD. This study thus examines conversations involving Shaun-the main character with ASD in "The Good Doctor"-and his observance of the Maxim of Quality. Data came from the eighteen episodes of Season One. Results show that the Maxim of Quality is a dominant feature of the communication patterns of individuals with ASD. Shaun's observance of the Maxim of Quality has four distinctive features, in that he: (1) responds without concern for the listener's face, (2) asks inappropriate questions, (3) asks lengthy questions, and (4) interrupts.Keyword: Gricean Maxim 1 , observing the Quality Maxim 2 , communication difficulty 3 , Autism Spectrum Disorder 4Grice (1975, p. 45) described what he called the "Cooperative Principle" (CP), which defines the governing principle by which people may conduct mutual, cooperative conversations. The CP is embodied in the four "Gricean Maxims": (1) the Maxim of Quality ("be truthful"), (2) the Maxim of Quantity, ("provide as much information as required"), (3) the Maxim of Relation, ("be relevant") and (4) the Maxim of Manner, ("avoid unnecessary ambiguity").
