ANALYSIS OF COOPERATIVE PRINCIPLES IN CLASSROOM
INTERACTION

Abstract
Trying to understand the meaning of the speaker’s words in the context of
communication can be included in Pragmatic scope. This study investigated on how
often students and teachers violate the maxim of cooperative principles in the
classroom interaction and the reason why students and teacher violate those maxims.
The purpose of this study is to know how far students and the teacher violate the
maxim of cooperative principles and to what extent they violate those maxims. This
study is based on the Grice theory about cooperative principles (1989). For this study,
the data was taken by recording the whole conversation in a class and analyzing
which conversation violates the maxim of cooperative principles. After analyzing the
data, the next step is identifying and classifying the data into four types of maxim
violations. The result of this study showed that in the classroom interaction, violations
happen to only two maxims of cooperative principles. What happens the most in the
violation in classroom interaction is violation maxim of relevance. After violation

maxim of quantity, violation maxim of quality comes up. Violation of maxim of
quantity and maxim of manner did not occur in this study. The reasons for violating
maxims are different for each violation. Reasons for violating the maxim of relevance
and quality is to liven up the situation in classroom and to make a joke.
Key words: Cooperative Principles, Classroom Interaction, Maxim of Cooperative
Principles.
