The features of spoken language
Grice's Maxims - he beloved that co-operation was they key to conversations and that conversation followed 4 maxims:
Quantity - you shoul say no more than what is required unless expected
Relevance - saying relevant things in the conversation, otherwise the conversation is disrupted and will not make sense
Manner - speaking in a clear, orderly manner to avoid ambiguity Quantity - how to be truthful and not say anything false
If we break these maxims, it's called flouting them and conversations break down. We don't like it when people go on for too long, dominate, lie or refuse to acknowledge short on the conversation. Nut when it comes to children speaking, they flout these maxims all the time but that is good. It is showing their intelligence to follow and copy the rules of language even when it is not correct.
