Abstract

When speaking, we suppose to understand each other, as the words and utterances we make are simply met with our expectations. If we cannot understand each other as the speaker utters something which may either directly or indirectly mean something else; it means in somehow we floated the characteristics of the conversation either semantically, or pragmatically. The research is carried out to apply some of the examples taken from the non-standard Arabic language, Libyan spoken dialect by Libyan students in Indonesia on the Conversational Implicature theory and mainly flouting the maxims. A number of the examples will be mentioned in Arabic and then translated into English and finally analyzed to see whether Grice’s theory can be applied in Arabic or not. As well as semantically and pragmatically decision will be made whether Grice’s theory in semantics and pragmatics in particular and other theories of Pragmatics in general are applied to English language or universal. The results showed that Libyan non-standard Arabic speakers apply the theory of conversational implicature and non-observing the principles
