An Animated and Narrated Glossary of Terms used in Linguistics presents Maxim of Manner

Saying something Suppose some person made the utterance U in some discourse. Two aspects of U: the propositional content of U True/false? (In)sufficient information? Relevant? the delivery of U clear/vague/ambiguous? happy/sad/excited Smells rotten. Did the man like the smell? Slide 2

Definition When engaged in conversation, the Maxim of Manner requires you to be perspicuous. Includes (but not restricted to) Avoid obscurity of expression Avoid ambiguity. Be brief (avoid unnecessary prolixity). Be orderly. H.P. Grice (1975) H.P. Grice

Basic Idea The Maxim of Manner is related to how something is being said in the conversation. It is one of the four conversational maxims that are part of the Cooperative Principle. Grice proposes this maxim as an explanation for a certain kind of regularity in conversational behavior with respect to the way information is provided at each turn of a conversation.

Example Let’s begin by considering two propositions: P1: Laura ran to the pier. P2: Laura jumped. Slide 5

Example Logically, P1 & P2 = P2 & P1 Slide 6

Example One finds this bewildering. Why? What did Laura do when she heard that Lauri’s boat had arrived? Laura ran to the pier and jumped. One finds this bewildering. Why? Because the Maxim is violated. Slide 7

Example One finds this conversation normal. Why? Laura jumped and ran to the pier. What did Laura do when she heard that Lauri’s boat had arrived? One finds this conversation normal. Why? Because the Maxim is observed

Example Logically, P1 & P2 = P2 & P1 But being orderly in the presentation of information is important in conversations. This is an effect of the Maxim of Manner. Slide 9

Violation What did Laura do when she heard that Lauri’s boat had arrived? Laura ran to the pier and jumped. Deliberate and apparent violation of maxims is called “flouting”. We do not expect the Maxim to be violated. Flouting must be motivated. Inferences obtained from flouting of maxims are called implicatures. The woman in red may be implicating that Lauri is Laura’s nemesis. Slide 10

Scope of Manner Violations of the Maxim of Manner can take many forms: Order of presentation of information Vagueness and ambiguity Volume and pace Choice of words Attitude Even facial/gestural expressions Slide 11
