| Abstract | ||||
| The present research sheds light on cooperativeness, implicatures, and Neo-Gricean pragmatics and applying them on some representative extacts from Tim O'Brien's novels. From Tim O'Brien's extracts under study, The researcher noted that speakers frequently mean much more than their words actually say, i.e. more is being communicated than is said. Grice's theory is an attempt at explaining how a hearer gets from what is said to what is meant, from the level of expressed meaning to the level of implied meaning. From the previous excerpts, it is obvious that the most prevalent type of flouting of the maxims in Tim O'Brien's novels is that of quantity and relation. | ||||
