The Analysis of Humor in the Movie Script Entitled "How I Met Your Mother " by Using Hyme's Model os S-P-E-A-K-I-N-G and Conversational Implicature

Abstract

This study aims at analyzing the humors in the movie
script entitled “How I Met Your Mother” by using
Hymes’s Model of S-P-E-A-K-I-N-G and conversational
implicature. The findings show that all of the implicatures
are caused by the maxims which are broken, which are
five maxims of relation, three maxims of quantity, two
maxims of quality and two maxims of manner. Maxim of
relation is the most appearing maxim and other two
maxims; maxim of quantity and maxim of manner just
take a small part of the conversation. While for the
analysis of S-P-E-A-K-I-N-G model, the aspects which
appear in the conversations are Setting and Scene (three
appearances), Participants (two appearances), Ends (five
appearances), Keys (four appearances) and Genre (two
appearances). Act sequences and Norms do not appear at
all, while Ends appears in all of the conversations. It is
because the focus of this research is on the implied
meaning that can promote humor.
