• Smith and Nelson

• Subrahmanyan Chandrasekhar

• Paul Grice

• Pablo Garcia

Which option paraphrases the Cooperative Principle?

• The main purpose of conversations is to cooperate to complete social projects.

• The most common purpose of conversations is to persuade other people to cooperate with us and help us achieve our goals.

• You have to be friendly towards people if you want to communicate with them effectively.

• Each participant in a conversation is expected to say appropriate things so that the conversation progresses successfully.

Because of the Cooperative Principle, a listener will usually try to interpret a comment:

• in a way that makes it relevant to the conversation.

• as though the speaker is lying.

• in a way that produces the most optimistic message.

If I ask, 'Shall we have a picnic on the beach tomorrow?' and you reply, 'There's a big storm forecast,' I should assume:

• You don't want to talk about the picnic; you prefer talking about the weather instead.

• You're worried about a storm on your birthday next week

• You think we should not have a picnic on the beach tomorrow.
