Grice's Maxims - Paul Grice
A principle that touches on the way people interact with one and other. It is a general explanation of how peers talk to eachother and how they normally act. Paul Grice, a philosopher of language quoted this theory:  "Make your contribution such as it is required, at the stage at which it occurs, by the accepted purpose or direction of the talk exchange in which you are engaged." It describes how people in conversation must communicate and accept opinions, approaches and cooperatively work mutually to successfully enable both people to understand eachother during conversation.

Maxim of Quality, being truthful during conversation must be imminent, not being false and making valid points with valid evidence contributes to creating a conversation.

Maxim of Quantity, during coversation, speaking enough however not too much that isn't necessary, also not too little, being informative, but not too much and being as informative that is needed in a certain situation.

Maxim of Relation, being relevant within conversation.

Maxim of Manner, being clear and avoiding, ambiguity, brief, orderly and obscurity of expression.
