Abstract

The use of discourse as a medium for conveying messages to the community has been carried out in various fields. Discourse for criticism, suggestions, or satire is often conveyed in with humorous attributes to make it more interesting. This study aims to analyze the pragmatic aspects of humor discourse in the "Humor Politik Indonesia (Indonesian Political Humor)‛ book. The qualitative approach and descriptive methods were used in this study. The results of the analysis showed that the pragmatic aspects contained in the book were in the form of presuppositions and implicature aspects. The presupposition aspect includes lexical, counterfactual, structural presuppositions. For the implicature aspect is in the form of mockery and satirical forms of implicatures. These results prove that the pragmatic aspects used in humor discourseare discourse constructors to create funny effects for readers. It can be implied that the political humor discourse that contains aspects of pragmatics can be used as teaching materials in learning Indonesian in senior high schools. This relates to BasicCompetence to evaluate the anecdotal test of the implicit meaning aspect that students must have
