Answer: Include and explain briefly Grice's maxims—quantity, quality, relation, and manner. An accurate speaker has knowledge of the listener and will match what he says to the accurate knowledge of what the listener is likely to know and understand. Include Herbert Clark's ideas of listeners and their expectations of common ground. Talk about community membership, copresence for actions, and perceptual copresence.
