Paul Grice was a British philosopher of language, known for his contributions to the philosophy of language and the study of meaning. He is most famous for his work on conversational implicature, which refers to what is suggested in an utterance, even if not explicitly stated. Grice introduced the Cooperative Principle, which posits that participants in a conversation typically adhere to certain maxims—quality, quantity, relevance, and manner—to facilitate effective communication.
