| dc.description.abstract | The objective of this research is to describe the types of implicature, form and function of
implicatures, and collaboration principles as well as politeness principles in Rakugo.
Rakugo as one of the types of Japanese humor has its uniqueness where rakugoka or
sto,yteller tells a humorous story by roleplaying various characters. Research data are
collected from ten rakugo short videos on Youtube containing dialogs uttered by a rakugoka. The
Searle and Chaer theories are used to analyze the function and form, Grice's theory is used to
analyze the co°llaboration principles and Leech's theory is used to analyze the
politeness principles. This qualitative descriptive research is conducted using the techniques of
Listening , recor ding, and notetaking. The result indicates that conventional
implicature is found in two titles of rakugo namely misomame, and toshokan. The dialog
implicatures found in ten titles of rakugo contain the directive, representative,
and expressive functions in declarative, declarative and interrogative forms.
The violation to collaboration principles that frequently appears is maxim of relevance and
maxim of manner because the rakugo speech are frequently irrelevant with the questions asked and
command ordered by the speaker. The violations to politeness principles found are the violations
to wisdom, generosity, sympathy, agreemen,t principles. | en_US |
