Abstract

This present study examines the observance and non-observance of maxims and
investigates the possible reasons underlying the non-observance of maxims by
children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). The study is a case study employing
a descriptive qualitative method which is conducted in schools for special needs in
Bandung. The data are in the form of texts obtained from recorded conversations.
Using theory of Grice’s Cooperative Principle, the study reveals that both nine years
old children mostly observe all four maxims. However, there are also a small number
of non-observance of maxims, with flouting, infringing, violating, and opting out as
the types of non-observance that are committed. The study also shows that there are
several possible reasons behind the non-observance of maxim, such as impairment in
speaking performance, imperfect command of language, and several other reasons.
The findings indicate that children with ASD in this context generally manage to
create successful communication with their interlocutors. They have no difficulties in
observing the four maxims in their daily conversations. Nevertheless, despite all of
the observance of maxims, there are also very rare cases of breaking maxims in which
they sometimes make attempts to evoke jokes, avoid uncomfortable situations, and
generate other meanings as people usually do. In addition, the findings also indicate
that there are cases when they fail to produce true and brief utterances due to the
characteristics of their language skills.
