Answers
Answer:
Maxim of quality requires the speaker not to say what is believed to be false and for which the speaker lacks adequate evidence. Below are the examples of the utterance that obeys the maxim of quality and that one violates the maxim! Example of obeying: A: “Why did you come late last night?
maxim of quantity For example, let's say that A asks B "What did you have for breakfast this morning?" If B responds, "I had some toast and jam," B is obeying the maxim of quantity, by giving as much information as is needed. However, let's say B responds "I had some breakfast before yoga class.
maxim of relevance So, your speech must be kept relevant to the subject in a conversation. For example, if someone were to ask ”How was your day today?? an answer such as “I went to the school” would break the maxim, as it is not relevant to the question asked. A correct reply would be “my day went well, thanks.
maxim of manner Another example that flouts the maxim of manner is when a speaker is intentionally ambiguous. Flowerdew (2013:99) provides the example “Go to work on an egg” which means either that 'an egg should be eaten before work' or that the hearer 'should start eating an egg'.
