Abstract
Abstract This research examines the flouting of Grice's Maxims in the movie Family Switch. By analyzing character conversations, the study aims to identify the types and strategies of maxim flouting. A descriptive qualitative method is used, applying Grice’s Cooperative Principle (1975) to explore the types of flouting, while Cutting’s theory (2002) is employed to analyze the strategies used. The data analysis follows Miles and Huberman’s (1994) technique, with the researcher acting as the instrument for collecting, identifying, and describing the data. The findings show all four types of maxim flouting: hyperbole and irony for the maxim of quality, too much or too little information for the maxim of quantity, irrelevance for the maxim of relation, and obscurity for the maxim of manner. Six strategies were identified overall. The researcher encourages future studies to explore maxim flouting in other areas, such as advertisements, TV shows, and newspapers, as it is a common linguistic phenomenon. Keywords: flouting of maxim, Family Switch movie, Grice’s maxim
