Name the four maxims that are associated with conversations to make them most satisfying and briefly explain what each maxim contributes.
What will be an ideal response?
The quality maxim suggests that people engaged in conversation should not offer a comment if they know it to be false. The quantity maxim tells us to provide as much information as is needed to communicate the meaning of our message and continue the conversation. The relevancy maxim suggests that we not go off on tangents or purposefully switch subjects when the other party still wants to discuss our initial topic because interjecting irrelevant comments illustrates uncooperativeness. The manner maxim suggests that diction should be appropriate to the receiver and the interaction’s context; that means using terms the other party understands and providing background information to avoid confusion.
