Introduction
1967年,哲学家Herbert Paul Grice就话语交际的普遍规律发表了自己的独特见解,首次提出用于解释人类话语交际规律的合作原则。
在Grice(1975)可能来,交谈之所以不是一连串不连贯的话语,是因为交际双方都必须遵守一些基本原则,这保证了交际活动能够顺利进行。他把这种交际者共同遵守的原则称为“合作原则”(Cooperative Principle).

Grice(1975)将合作原则定义如下:合作原则要求每一个交谈参与者在整个交谈中所说的话符合当时交谈的目标和方向。
The co-operative principle:
Make your conversational contribution such as is required, at the stage at which it occurs, by the accepted purpose or direction of the talk exchange in which you are engaged

说话者和听话者很有默契地合作着,一次交谈、甚至是一场吵架,都是语言合作的结果。
