Grices maxims are a set of conversational guidelines that are used to represent a harmonious and cooperative conversation. While these maxims can be followed, what is interesting about them is when they are flouted. Grices maxims are: 1. Quality; may your contribution be truthful or valid. People can lie, particularly politicians. 2. Quantity: may what you say be an appropriate amount to the context; dont say too little or too much Tony Abbott in a nutshell. 3. Relevance, be relevant. How was your exam? Wanna yiff? 4. Manner; be brief and orderly and avoid ambiguity. m.youtube/watch?v=lj3iNxZ8Dww This Public Service Announcement for the advancement in linguistics is brought to you by Khaiger, a subsidary of Khaiger Industries.
