Maxim of Relation[edit
<http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Cooperative_principle&action=edit§ion=5>
]
- *Be Relevant*
With respect to this maxim, Grice writes, "Though the maxim itself is
terse, its formulation conceals a number of problems that exercise me a
good deal: questions about what different kinds and focuses of relevance
there may be, how these shift in the course of a talk exchange, how to
allow for the fact that subjects of conversations are legitimately changed,
and so on. I find the treatment of such questions exceedingly difficult,
and I hope to revert to them in later work."[1]
