Abstract
This MA thesis deals with Paul Grice’s Co-operative principle, its conversational maxims and the flouting of these maxims. For the effective communication to be achieved, the speakers have to observe four conversational maxims by providing truthful, sufficient and relevant statement, which carries only literal meaning. However, very often these maxims tend to be violated and there are several ways of doing so, but in this paper the focus is on the case of flouting the maxims. This paper includes the study, that is, discourse analysis, which analyses the cases of flouting maxims in the comedy series Friends and Only Fools and Horses. This study aims to determine which of these comedy series tends to flout conversational maxims more frequently and which of the conversational maxims is most frequently flouted. It also examines the situations in which the flouting of maxims occurs, that is, the reasons for flouting the maxims. The study analysed nine episodes from both comedy series and found that there are slightly more cases of flouting maxims in the comedy series Friends and that the most flouted conversational maxim is the Maxim of Quality. Moreover, the main reason for flouting the maxims is to elicit laughter, but also to express irony, sarcasm, hyperbole, impatience, mockery and to change the subject or even to avoid the conversation.
Abstract (croatian)
Ovaj se diplomski rad bavi načelom suradnje, kojega je formirao Paul Grice, njegovim razgovornim maksimima tenamjernim kršenjem razgovornih maksima. Kako bi se postigla učinkovita komunikacija, potrebno je da se govornici pridržavaju glavnih razgovornih maksima tako što će iznijeti istinitu, količinski adekvatnu i relevantnu izjavu, koja sadržava samo doslovno značenje. No, ipak se u većini situacija ove maksime krše i postoje brojni načini kršenja. Međutim, u ovom je radu fokus na namjernom kršenju maksima. Ovaj rad sadrži i istraživanje, odnosno analizu diskursa, koja analizira primjere namjernog kršenja maksima u humorističnim serijama Prijatelji i Mućke. Ovim se istraživanjem nastoji utvrditi koja od navedenih humorističnih serija češće namjerno krši razgovorne maksime te koji se od razgovornih maksima najčešće namjerno krši. Osim toga, istraživanjem se ispituje u kojim se situacijama namjerno krše maksime, odnosno ispituju se razlozi namjernog kršenja maksima. Istraživanjem se analiziralo devet epizoda iz navedenih humorističnih serija, a rezultati su pokazali da se u humorističnoj seriji Prijatelji razgovorne maksime nešto češće namjerno krše te da se maksima kvalitete najčešće namjerno krši. Nadalje, utvrđeno je da se razgovorni maksimi namjerno krše prvenstveno radi izazivanja smijeha te kako bi likovi izrazili ironiju, sarkazam, hiperbolu, nestrpljivost, ruganje, ali i promijenili temu razgovora, pa čak i izbjegli razgovor.
