Implikatur Sindiran pada Kolom Komentar Unggahan Berita Politik dalam Akun Instagram CNN Indonesia dan Pemanfaatannya untuk Pembelajaran Teks Anekdot di SMA

Abstract

This study aims to describe the forms of sarcastic implicature, the responses to sarcastic implicature, and their utilization in teaching anecdotal texts to senior high school students. The object of this research is the comment section of political news posts in the field of education on the CNN Indonesia Instagram account. This research employs a qualitative approach with a descriptive method. The data consist of sentences indicated to contain sarcastic implicature, while the data sources are netizens’ comments on seven political news posts published on the CNN Indonesia Instagram account from August to October 2025. Data were collected using documentation techniques and analyzed using a pragmatic approach, particularly Grice’s theory of conversational implicature. The results show that the forms of sarcastic implicature include generalized conversational implicature, scalar conversational implicature, and particularized conversational implicature. Generalized conversational implicature appears in the forms of criticizing, mocking, and disparaging; scalar conversational implicature appears in the forms of strengthening and generalizing; while particularized conversational implicature appears in the forms of wordplay, insinuating, and encoding. The responses to sarcastic implicature consist of responses that comply with the cooperative principle and responses that violate the cooperative principle by violating one or more conversational maxims. Furthermore, sarcastic implicature found in the comment section of political news posts on the CNN Indonesia Instagram account can be utilized as alternative teaching materials for anecdotal texts in senior high schools, as they contain elements of social criticism, humor, and implicit meaning that are contextual and relevant to students’ lives.
