Abstract

Hedging maxim is one of violations that occur in a conversation that does not fully fulfill the cooperative principles. It occurs when the speakers express theirs feeling in a conversation, but they realize that they use the hedging maxims to look as if they fulfill the cooperative principles, both in formal or in informal conversations. Generally, the use of hedging maxims is caused by several factors from the surrounding environment relating to the context and situation. This research analyzes the hedging maxims used by the four main characters: Lucy, Edmund, Peter and Susan who appeared in the novel entitled The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe. It aims to describe about hedging maxims that are used by the four main characters. This research is a qualitative research that analyzes the data descriptively. The main data are taken from C.S Lewis‟s novel entitled The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe. The data are analyzed by taking some steps. The first is reading and understanding the novel. The second is finding and determining the data based on the hedging maxims used by the four main characters: Lucy, Edmund, peter and Susan in their conversations. The last is classifying the data and analyzing them based on the cooperative principle theory by Paul Grice. The result of this research shows that there are two types of hedging maxims used by the four main characters in giving responses. The first type is hedging of each maxim, it relates to hedging of quality, quantity, relation and manner maxims. The second type is hedging of two maxims, it relates to relation and quantity maxims, relation and manner maxims, and quantity and quality maxims. Therefore, the four min characters break their conversations by using some hedging maxims when they produce responses to their partners not too accurate information when they will produce, limited information, irrelevant, and prolixity answers.
