Essay from the year 2020 in the subject English Language and Literature Studies - Linguistics, University of Augsburg (Lehrstuhl Anglistik), course: Pragmatics, language: English, abstract: This essay examines Paul Grice’s influential contributions to philosophy and linguistics, focusing on his Principle of Cooperation and theory of Implicatures within the Gricean Model of Communication. Through a practical example of miscommunication, the paper explores the definition of successful communication and the challenges inherent in interpreting speaker intentions. While highlighting the limitations and flaws of Grice’s model, such as its reliance on shared assumptions and context, the essay argues for its continued relevance in understanding and improving communication in contemporary society. By addressing both criticisms and strengths, the essay provides a balanced perspective on the applicability of Grice’s work in modern linguistic and social contexts.
