Cooperative Principle
Hello guys..... in this post I will explain about the Cooperative Principle The cooperative principle is a principle of conversation that was proposed by Grice 1975 , stating that participants expect that each will make a “conversational contribution such as is required, at the stage at which it occurs, by the accepted purpose or direction of the talk exchange.” The cooperative principle, along with the conversational maxims, partly accounts for conversational implicatures . Participants assume that a speaker is being cooperative, and thus they make conversational implicatures about what is said.
