Prinsip Kerja Sama pada Tindak Tutur dalam Persidangan di Pengadilan

Abstract

The objective of this study is to examine the cooperative principle contained in the trials at Banda Aceh District Court. The cooperative principle examined in this study consists of the maxim of quality, the maxim of quantity, the maxim of manner, and the maxim of relevance. Data for the study was drawn from nine court cases involving specific and general crimes. Data collection was carried out by recording the trials with a voice recorder. Triangulation of data was carried out by linking the cooperative principle contained in the trial with the cooperative principle theory and comparing them with the findings of other researchers. The writer concluded that the maxims of quality and quantity contained in the trial are confirmation questions. This is because the judge already knows the answer because it is in the minutes. The defendant's answers were informative and did not exceed the judge's expectations. At the same time, the application of the maxim of the manner in the trial can occur because the information provided regarding the judge's questions is answered by the speech partner clearly and regularly. This is equivalent to the maxim of relevance which requires the exchange of information to be in accordance with the topic expected by the questionnaire.
