Abstract

This research focuses on the violation on cooperative principle is systemically used which develop distinct communicative habitus within their militaristic society. Through qualitative content analysis of dialogue exchanges from the complete animated series (1-4) and manga chapters (1-139), added by pragmatic discourse analysis. The method that uses is qualitative research approach, the research investigates how violation of the research investigates how violation of cooperative principle becomes normalized as habitus. Both a survival strategy and a mechanism for maintaining social cohesion. The findings reveal that characters develop sophisticated communication strategies that balance pragmatic principles with social position and strategic needs. Military leaders and political figures demonstrate how systematic violations of conversational maxims can function as a form of social capital, while class-based communicative dispositions persist even in crisis situations. The study contributes to communication theory by demonstrating how the integration of Grice's maxims and Bourdieu's concept of habitus can illuminate complex communication patterns in high-stakes environments.
