Implikatur percakapan dalam buku Merasa Pintar, Bodoh Saja Tak Punya; Sebuah Kisah Sufi dari Madura karya Rusdi Mathari

Abstract

The book Merasa Pintar, Bodoh Saja Tak Punya has a religious genre that touches on the principal matters of a Muslim. The speech between the characters in the book depicts different levels of thinking and is difficult for ordinary people to understand. This research aims to describe forms of speech that contain specific Sufistic conversational implicatures and to describe forms of speech that contain general conversational implicatures in the book. This study used a descriptive qualitative method. The results of this research show that the implicatures found contain implicit meaning in the form of assertive, directive, expressive, and declarative speech. These implicatures arise because there is a violation of the principles of cooperation in the form of the principles of cooperation in quantity, quality, relationship, and method. The speech between the characters implies the sophistication of the Sufi character which consists of three levels, namely the level of sharia, tarekat, and essence. The implicatures found contain religious advice. The speech is conveyed implicitly in order to provide advice and criticism that can be accepted by other characters.
