The two important topics in modern pragmatics are utterance produce and utterance interpretation. Grice's conversational Theory is regarded as the theoretical foundation of modern pragmatics.

This paper, firstly , introduces the basic views of the two ,then briefly discusses their dissimilarity CP and Relevance, implicit communication and explicit communication ,cognitive context and contextual assumptions, and finally some humble remarks made by the author.
