Grice's implicature theory focuses on what he called the "cooperative principle" and how it is directly related to the conversational implications that occur in our daily speech. In the implied section of his essay “Logic and Conversation,” Grice explains that there are common conversational goals that we try to achieve in our discussions. For example, some of these common goals are that there is a common goal for the conversation, that each person's contributions to the conversation should depend on each other, and that the conversation continues until mutually agreed that it is finished. In order to preserve these goals, it seems easier for us, as cooperative human beings, to stick to the cooperative principle and, along with it, the maxims set out by Grice. Assuming that we do not generally deviate from this cooperative principle without good reason, we can discover things that are implicitly stated. Implicature is the part of our spoken language where these maxims are intentionally broken, and it involves the form of communication implicitly understood: the things that are implied or suggested. Although Grice's implicature theory is a very careful assessment of implicit statements, his argument has some flaws. Because of these problems, Grice's theory offers neither a solution to formalist and infomalist problems nor a foolproof method for assessing implicature in everyday conversation. Grice writes that because we are, for the most part, a cohesive and cooperative group of human beings. , “our exchanges of words do not normally consist of a succession of disconnected remarks, and would not be rational if they did” (“Logic and conversation” p. 44). That is, conversations ...... middle of paper ...... to define a pragmatic language capable of capturing the true meaning of our thoughts and sentences in a formal language. This is important because, as often as we stick to the cooperative principle and maxims specified by Grice, there are times when we stray from these cooperations to deliberately create implications. Because we don't generally ignore this cooperative principle without good reason, implicature is an effective way to get a point across. Although Grice's implicature theory doesn't seem to come up with a comprehensive evaluative process for deciphering these points, there are some good things in his argument. Although Grice's theory does not provide a complete solution to formalist and infomalist problems nor does it provide a perfect technique for assessing implicature at all times, it is worth thinking about and applying to our everyday language..
