Context, Implicature, Grice, Cognition, CommunicationAbstract
This paper aims to provide a detailed review of Paul Grice's article Logic and Conversation. Similarly, I will subtly demonstrate the lack of cognitive elements in Grice's theory and point out that certain contextual characteristics demonstrated by Grice are insufficient for the analysis that certain situations warrant.
