In this research, the researcher used the film as the object of the research entitled Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle film and focused on understanding character utterances. The data were taken from the film script and scene in the form ofutterances. Through the utterances, the participants tell their idea and opinion aboutsomething, but sometimes they do not say their goals directly; this is called implicature. Based on that, the researcher tries to understand the meaning of implicature utterances occurred in the film based on the implicature theory. Thisresearch was aimed at classifying the types of conversational implicature, which have
been done by the five main characters in the film and then explaining the implied meaning. The selected data were analyzed one by one by using relevant theory. The researcher used theories of implicature by Levinson and context by DeVito.
The data were explained by showing the maxim flouted by the main characters,the context of the situation, the types of conversational implicature, and the implied meaning of the utterances. Dealing with the purposes of the research, it was found that the five main characters used implicature. Thirty-six utterances containedconversational implicatures, which comprise thirty-three particularized conversationalimplicature, and three generalized conversational implicature. The five main charactersused particularized conversational implicature more frequently than generalizedconversational implicature. In addition, it was also found that the implied meaning behind main characters’ utterances mostly depend on the context of the conversation.
The implied meaning found were informing, complaining, refusing, reminding, criticizing, assuring, affirming, apologizing, and entreating.
Key words: Implicature, Implied meaning, generalized conversational implicature, particularized conversational implicature.
