Abstract

After surveying the theoretical foundation of Grice,s co-operative principle on the base of meaning and intention in this research, it is tried to analyze two conversational texts(one Persian and one English Play)by adopting analytic- descriptive method and resorting to the maxims that Grice had proposed for exchanging efficient information among participants in a language interaction. First we will refer to the ways we can use not to observe the maxims. Then we draw some tables which are included the distribution of non- observance of Gricean Maxims in both plays. We also refer to ways and intentions which may cause breaking those maxims. At the end we examine differences between non- observance of maxims in these two texts and give some explanations for possible reasons of these differences. The result of this research can be used for teaching the Persian and English languages, as a second language, as well as for translating Persian into English and vice versa
