Abstract

By the most common way,Grice has taken the method of philosophical logic analysis into the study of the general premise of conversation.Based on that,he advanced the theory of conversational implicature,cooperative principle and its maxims which has brought forth the Grice's theory.Grice's theory demonstrates the application of logic inference in the study of conversation,its feasibility and prospects.This paper analyses the background of Gricean pragmatical logic,the philosophical and logical basis of the theory,mode of its inference and its own inadequacies as well.
