: “Et nunc, reges intelligite...”
Gluteus Maximus : “Everything under control, Ceturion?”
Chief Gaius Veriambitius : “… erudimini qui judicatis terram.”
Gluteus Maximus : “???”
The illustration tells about Chief Gaius Veriambitius who has just come back from the Gaulish Village. He is afraid because he knows that the Gauls will
join the Olympic Games. He is also afraid that this information will bring Gluteus Maximus down. When he arrives in the Aquarium, he cannot hide his worry-face.
However, he speaks in a language which cannot be understood by Gluteus Maximus. By speaking in foreign language to Gluteus Maximus who does not
undertand it, Chief Gaius Veriambitius flouts maxim of manner.
d. Maxim of Relation
The participants flout maxim of relation because they make the conversation unmatched. Usually, the participants do the wrong causality. Beside,
they do not want to speak the same topic. They will change the topic or avoid talking about something. This violation is usually used to hide something. It
means that the participants keep secret or something in order that no body knows about it. In this comic, the example of flouting maxim of relation can be seen in
datum number 21 in page 43. The scene and the illustration can be seen below. PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI
