a. Context
The contextual factors which are supported the analysis in datum 6 can be identified in the following:
1 Character
: Po and Shifu.
2 Setting
: In the kitchen of Bunkhouse, in the morning. 3
Context of situation : Shifu looks inside the training hall. It’s empty. He
hears The noises from the bunkhouse. He turns the corner in the bunkhouse. He sees Pos shadow as he performs some amazing Kung Fu.
Entering the kitchen, He finds Po is stuffing his face with food. Seeing Shifu, he stops mid-munch. Shifu surveys the room. He finds the broken
lock, smashed doors, unhinged cabinets. Po belches. Seeing master Shifu amazes, Po tells him that he eats when he is upset. Master Shifu gets the
idea and he tells Po that monkey hides his almond cookies on the top shelf. Shifu calmly exits and hides just outside the doorway, waiting to see if his
hunch is correct. He hears some noises. He peeks back inside and finds Po perched atop the high shelves jamming more cookies into his mouth. Po
notices Shifu walking back in.
b. The Cooperative Principle
The violation of cooperative principle in datum 6 to create the humor is identified below:
1 Maxim of quality
The maxim of quality in the conversation in datum 6 is seen in the information contributed by Shifu and Po. Po tells the fact that he eats when he is
lix upset. He also tells that he disgusts Shifu and he doesn’t know how he gets up on
ten feet off the ground. It can be proven by his statements “Yeah, I know. I disgust you”, I dont I-- I dont know. know. I guess I was getting a cookie”,
and ” This is just an accident”.
He believes that his idea is true. Shifu utters, how did you get up there. And yet you are ten feet off the ground and have done a perfect split
” when he sees Po do the perfect split. Shifu says honestly about his amazement for
seeing the perfect split done by Po. In conclusion, both have accorded the maxim.
2 Maxim of quantity
Po asks Shifu not to tell that he eats Monkey’s almond cookies. He says, “Dont tell Monkey”. Seeing Po eats the cookies in perfect split position, Shifu
surprises. He asks Po sufficiently how he gets up there. Po answers that he doesn’t know. He suggests that it is just an accident. Based on the situation happens, the
writer argues that the goal of the conversation is satisfied well because all
speakers evoke the relevant idea. 3
Maxim of relevance
Shifu asks Po how he gets up ten feet off the ground and Po sends the relevant answer by saying that he does not know how he gets there. He suggests it
is just an accident. It is depicted in Po’s statement saying, “I dont know. I guess I- - I dont know. I was getting a cookie”.
Hearing Po’s answer, Shifu tells the relevant statement that Po is ten feet off the ground and has done a perfect split.
But Po utters, “This... this is just an accident”. The writer identifies the ideas that contributed by Po and Shifu are relevant for the goal of communication. It means
that this maxim has been accorded.

4 Maxim of manner
Shifu statement “Look at you” used to express his amazement for seeing
the perfect split. But Po misunderstands. He suggests that Shifu’s statement means that he disgusts Shifu because he eats greedily. Here, the ambiguity occurs. Shifu
doesn’t send clearly his amazement. Then, Shifu, in this conversation, seems to violate the maxim of manner.
The writer, from the explanation above, concludes that the maxim of manner is violated in the dialog in datum 6.
