Editing Semantics and the Cooperative Principle (section)

== <span style="color: #FFFFFF;">Remembering</span> ==
* '''The Cooperative Principle''' — (Paul Grice, 1975). The "Assumption" that "Participants" in a "Conversation" are "Contributing" "As Required" to "Reach" a "Shared Goal."
* '''Conversational Implicature''' — The "Meaning" that is "Suggested" or "Inferred" "Beyond" the "Literal Words" (e.g. 'Can you pass the salt?' isn't a 'question' about 'ability').
* '''Paul Grice''' — The "Philosopher of Intention": who "Distinguished" between "What is Said" and "What is Meant."
* '''Maxim of Quality''' — "Be Truthful": do not say what you believe to be false or for which you lack evidence.
* '''Maxim of Quantity''' — "Be Informative": give as much information as needed, but no more.
* '''Maxim of Relation''' — "Be Relevant": say things that are pertinent to the discussion.
* '''Maxim of Manner''' — "Be Clear": avoid ambiguity, be brief, and be orderly.
* '''Flouting a Maxim''' — "Purposefully" "Breaking" a rule to "Force" the "Listener" to "Look" for a "Hidden Meaning" (e.g., 'Irony' or 'Metaphor').
* '''Presupposition''' — An "Assumption" "Embedded" in a sentence (e.g. 'Has John stopped beating his dog?' presupposes 'John had a dog and beat it').
* '''Irony''' — (See Article 647). A "Speech Act" where the "Speaker" "Flouts" the "Maxim of Quality" to "Convey" the "Opposite Meaning."
