Grice's Maxims

Grice's Maxims are guidelines that help us communicate effectively and understand each other clearly. They include: Quantity (give the right amount of information—not too little or too much), Quality (be truthful and provide evidence), Relevance (stick to the topic), and Manner (be clear and orderly in how you communicate). Following these maxims helps conversations flow smoothly, ensuring that messages are understood as intended. They are principles, not strict rules, and sometimes people intentionally break them for emphasis or humor. Overall, they help us share information efficiently and understand each other better.
