Abstract

This research is motivated by the authors' interest in the phenomenon that arises regarding speech acts. Humans in this millennial era more often feel that the speech acts spoken between the speaker and the speech partner are inaccurate or inappropriate, causing misperceptions. That of course has an impact on the social relations of the speaker and the speech partner. Therefore, the principle of cooperation exists to see the extent of the discrepancy of speech acts between the speaker and the speech partner. The principle of cooperation has four maxims namely the maxim of quantity, quality, relevance, and manner. The focus of this research was the principle of cooperation with the maxim of quantity in the speech acts between the Integrated Police Service Center (SPKT) officers and the society. The object of this study was the SPKT Police officers in Depok with the society who reported all their problems. This research applied an ethnographic approach. The results of this study obtained as many as 31 maxims of quantity, both spoken by the police and the society.
