Document Summary
Meanings that aren"t latterly there, what really mean. Considers language as instrument of interaction, how use language, how understand each other. Less focused on nature of representation, language in use. Based on literal meaning vs. pragmatics that"s based un non-literal meaning (speaker can imply things, listener can infer things implicature, the conclusion that gets drawn from implying and inferring) Cooperative principle: person talking to trying to cooperate (not deceive, make conversational difficult, successful convo) Don"t say something as truth that don"t have adequate evidence for. Don"t say things that have nothing to do with conversation. Don"t give super long answers when shorter would do. Don"t give super short answer, without enough info. Avoid being obscure, ambiguous (only be interpreted in one way) How you say it, more than what you say. Be brief, say things in a concise way. If don"t follow maxims, must be doing to for a reason.
