Abstract

Peter Pan, a classic piece of literature, has been adapted countless times in popular culture. The movie adaptation of Peter Pan is an ideal medium for studying linguistic phenomena, as it effectively mirrors real-life communication through characters' gestures, tone, context, and expressions. This study focusses on the analysis of maxim flouting in the movie Peter Pan and Wendy. The research identifies the different types of maxim flouting and explores the reasons behind these instances as performed by the characters Peter Pan and Wendy in the movie. The analysis is grounded in Grice's (1975) theory to classify the types of maxim flouting and Leech's (1983) framework to understand the reasons for these actions. The data were gathered by documenting the utterances (words, phrases, or sentences) that exhibit maxim flouting, and these were analyzed using Spradley’s four-step analysis model: domain analysis, taxonomic analysis, contextual analysis, and cultural theme analysis. The findings of this descriptive research indicate that Peter Pan and Wendy exhibit four types of maxim flouting: manner, relevance, quantity, and quality, with manner being the most frequently flouted and quality the least. The reasons for flouting the maxims were identified as collaborative, convivial, competitive, and conflictive, with collaborative reasons being the most used.
