Grice Maxim
Grices Maxims is
the theory that speakers observe conversational mains. Grice states that
when we communicate, without realising the person we are talking to will
conversationally cooperate, to achieve mutual conversational ends.
Grices Maxims discovered
and created four maxims that follow in the common order of:
Quantity - Use of appropriate amount of detail when
speaking to someone with right amount of conversational linguistics.
Quality- Being truthful and speaking only the truth
with no reason to knowingly mislead, meaning no lying and speaking truthful at
all times during a conversation.
Relevance- Keep what is being discussed relevant and
according to the topic of conversation. No need of changing the subject mid-way
through conversation.
Manner- Avoid unclearness and vagueness when talking and being full of
enthusiasm and energy.
Also what was
important to Grices Maxims was the politeness element when having a
conversation with someone. This is also known as the 'super maxim' that people
are mindful of others personal or face needs, emphasising that being respectful
and well- mannered is key for keeping the person you are talking to happy with
the topic and not disrespectful.
