Meanings, miscommunications
For this assignment, think about a situation where you observed some instance of communication go amiss or in which you participated in a conversation where something went awry.
After you identify this instance, think about Grice’s Maxims and determine if a violation of the Maxims may have caused the miscommunication. If so, write about this. If not, think more about the communication and what caused it to go wrong, and write about what went wrong and how you or those involved could have made the course of conversation go more smoothly.
Consider two similar miscommunications to ensure that you cover this topic thoroughly.
