会话含意理论一提出就成了语用学最热门的话题之一。格赖斯认为,人们在说话时应尽量提供足够的、真实的、与话题相关的信息并用简洁明了的语言表达,这就是格赖斯的合作原则。格赖斯的会话含意理论以及合作原则开创了从语用学视角研究话语推理的先河。如何运用格赖斯的会话含义理论研究说话人的交际意图,进行会话含意的语用推理,使交际更加顺畅地进行是语用学领域研究的核心。%Conversational implicature has been one of the hot topics since it was first proposed. According to Grice, people will try to say things which are true, relevant, as well as informative enough, and in a clear manner, which is called cooperative principle （CP）. Gricean theory of conversational implicature and CP starts the inference from the perspective of pragmatics. The important point made by Grice regard- ing the theory of implicature is the distinction between what is said and what is implicated. If there are ob- vious signs that one, or more, of the maxims is not observed, that is violation of the maxims, conversa- tional implicature is generated. How to use Gricean theory to interprete the speaker＇s communicative in- tention, deduce the conversational implicature, and thus make the communication go on more smoothly is the core study in the field of pragmatics.
