2.5 Framework of the Study

Conversation analysis enables the study of broadcast talk by offering tools with which it is possible to draw out its unique features and understand the important role of the participants of the interaction in maintaining the characteristic forms of radio and television broadcasting talk. In short, broadcast talk could be defined through three characteristics: it is closely related to the structures and patterns of ordinary talk, it should still be seen as an institutional form of discourse and besides the participants, it is primarily meant to be heard by an audience Hutchby 2006: 24-26. The analysis of the conversation, of the chosen radio talk, as to maxims from Gricean cooperative principles, will search for situations where these were violated and if so to what extent. The question that can be raised here is if the Gricean cooperative principles can be applied on radio talk conversation at all. In this study, the term ‘implicature’ which is introduced by Grice 1975: 45 becomes one of tools of analysis to describe what speakers and hearers are doing especially to account for what a speaker can imply, suggest, or mean, as distinct from what the speaker literally say. The discussion of the research contain of research problems which formed into issues kinds of maxims were mostly violated and observed by participants in the related radio talk. The conversation in radio talk show has an ability to violate and observe the maxims in Gricean cooperative principle. However, it does not mean that the conversation avoid the possibility of the other kind of infringements the maxims to be occurred, such flouting a maxim, opting out a maxim, and suspending a maxim. Refer to the limitation of the study, the research only analyzes the conversation in Gricean cooperative principle whether it was violating or observing the maxims. 32 CHAPTER III METHOD OF INVESTIGATION The third chapter focused in methodology that was used to analyze Gricean Cooperative Principles in the conversation of radio talk show of Pro 2 English Time. There were four subchapters; 1 research design, 2 source of the data, 3 roles of the researcher, 4 method of data collection and 5 method of data analysis.
