Abstract

using a pragmatic approach. It explores how language functions as a tool to influence, persuade, and command others. The research employs a qualitative descriptive method, analyzing conversations from episodes one to five of the series through Grice's implicature theory, Austin and Searle’s speech act theory, and Van Dijk’s manipulation theory. The findings indicate that Dr. Smith frequently violates conversational maxims, particularly the Maxim of Quality, to provide false information, and the Maxim of Relevance to mislead. She also uses indirect speech acts to manipulate emotional responses. These findings enhance the understanding of linguistic manipulation in fictional and real-life discourse. This research builds on previous studies of language manipulation, persuasion, and implicature, further validating its conclusions. The researcher acknowledges the contributions of linguistic scholars whose works have shaped the theoretical framework of this study.
