When looking over the different concepts we learned this semester, in communication I feel one of the most interesting concepts is coordinating conversational moves in Chapter 4. This is very important to have conversational skills to be a successful communicator. The cooperative principle is simply the willingness to communicate with others while following social rules. We need to be polite, acknowledge others, respect them, and respond in appropriate ways. When we have no regard for truth or relevance then communication looses its effect.
H.P. Grice discussed basic and simple conventions that guide talk. The cooperative principle and conversational maxims are essential to communication. I really liked this concept, so I thought this was an interesting concept to share in my blog. Four conversational maxims make for good conversation. The quanity maxim, quality maxim, relevancy maxim, and manner maxim. If they are applied to communication and used properly then you will be a successful communicator.
