The object of the study is Indonesian political language in words, phrase, clause, sentence, or discourse taken from Indonesian newspapers. The data was analyzed using Grice’s cooperative principle.

Giving incorrect information violates the maxim of quality to obey quantity maxim. They also vio- late the maxim of relevance by saying things, which are not germane to the topic under discussion.
