Talk:Cooperative principle

People often flout or violate maxims in order to create other meanings. This is called implicature.

I think this is a too narrow definition of "implicature" but I am too new to the subject to be sure yet. Anyway, this needs to be covered more thoroughly in the article on implicature (to which Implication (pragmatics) probably needs to be moved).

Also, I reckon we could merge this article into Gricean maxims. --Jim Henry | Talk 15:18, 19 August 2005 (UTC)

VIOLATING a maxim is crucially different from FLOUTING it. If I tell an outright lie, that's a violation of quality. If I make, e.g., an ironic statement (like "Beautiful weahther today!" when it's obviously raining cats and dogs) I'm blatantly FLOUTING the maxim of quality to create an implicature, and thereby exploiting the cooperative pronciple.

I agree that this article and Gricean Maxims could/should be merged. However, we have to be careful with the "Implicature" article - different linguistc theories explain implicatures very differently - for example, Relevance Theory explains them differently than Grice does. So we have to be careful to keep those apart. Maybe it'd be best to just give a general explanation of implicatures there, and then link to the specific articles for different theories to show different approaches?

Hyperprotected cooperative principle or cooperative principle?

Is it 'hyperprotected cooperative principle' or 'cooperative principle'?

The first time I came across this term was called the former. But I see the latter term quite often. Should there be a note about this?

I prefer the 'anthropologically linguistical hyperprotected cooperative principle of the gricean maxims.'208.118.163.99 (talk) 18:53, 27 July 2011 (UTC)

Disambiguation

I believe this article could use a disambiguation for the 7 cooperative principles, also known as the Rochdale Principles. Gobonobo 09:00, 14 February 2007 (UTC) Thanks. Gobonobo 03:12, 15 February 2007 (UTC)

No problem. :-) —Ruakh_TALK 17:53, 15 February 2007 (UTC)

Maxim of Relevance or Relation

In the main article for Paul Grice, it is called "Maxim of Relation", but here it is called "Maxim of Relevance". What is correct? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 90.227.112.139 (talk) 14:38, 26 November 2011 (UTC)
