The Violation of Quality MaximThe Cooperative Principle39。s second maxim is the maxim of quality, which orders that we do not say what we believe to be false, and do not say that for which you lack adequate evidence. It is expected that the municative partners will say the truth. However, in our real life, sometimes people always violate the maxim of quality by way of deceiving the addressee to achieve the purpose of the speaker.Example (5)。Claire: You were in Mr. Kleezak’s house? Luck, that’s not okay.Luck: Why not? He’s really nice and funny. Listen to this joke. Okay, two krauts walk into a bar.Claire: Phil, this is not good.Phil: Honey, don’t jump to conclusion. Let him finish the joke.Claire: You may not go back to that man’s house.Luck: Why not?Claire: Because…h(huán)e’s weird.Phil: And not very nice.Claire: Yeah. Season 2Luck is going to his friend Kleezak’s house to watch “High room”. His mom disagrees. Luck explains “I went over to his house to get my ball, and we’ve been hanging out. He’s really nice and funny.” In order to prevent Luck’s action, Claire’s utterance flouts quality maxim. Her utterance lack adequate evidence. We’ll know that Mr Kleezak is a fireman, he doesn’t hurt kids in the following plot. So Claire’s utterance just is to stop Luck from seeing him.Example (6):Manny: I’m sorry I let you down, Jay. I’m starting to think of I couldn’t even get up that wall. Then why am I going on this?Jay: Knock it off, Manny. We both know you could get up that wall. Now, why are you trying to get out of this trip?Manny: I’m not. I’m excited to go…Jay: Manny.Manny: Okay. I have some concerns about the shower situation. Season 2 This conversation happens on the way home. Jay persuaded Manny to go camping held by school. Manny makes the excuse that “I’m not going on this because I couldn’t even get up that wall.” When Jay asks Manny “Why are you trying to get out of this trip?” Manny’ answer violates maxim of quality of CP “do not say what you believe to be false”, Manny says something that is not true, because the audiences will see the real reason is that Manny has some concerns about the shower situation. Therefore, Manny’s answer implied he is really unwilling to going on this.Example (7):Claire: Are you happy that we’re ing with you?Jay: It’s just not what I expected.Claire: But, Dad, doesn’t it feel good to know that your whole family is willing to drop everything to be with you to fly across the ocean in a steel coffin? I’m gonna finish that.Jay: It’s not you guys. I love the family. It just kinda feels like Gloria’s going out her Way not to spend time with me. Season 1 This conversation occurs at the airport. Today is Jay’s birthday. The whole family is going to Hawaii by air. Mitchell’s passport is left at home, so Phil drives Mitchell home fast. Claire is drinking the wine because she is angry with Phil and she is a little jittery about flying. Jay wants to have a lot of time for myself, but Gloria arranges lots of surprises with the luaus, the hiking and the talent shows that make Jay unhappy. So Jay also es here to drink. When Claire knows that Jay doesn’t expect they are ing with him. Claire expresses unpleasant by means of metaphor. Obviously, the “steel coffin” refers to the “plane”. Claire’s utterance violates the first submaxim of quality maxim. We know that they fly across the ocean by plane not in a steel coffin. Claire uses the “steel coffin” to express she hates to take a plane, but she is willing to take it in order to celebrate Dad’s birthday. Claire shows her love and devotion. Moreover, she is sad to hear that Jay doesn’t like that.Example (8):Gloria: What’s going on in there. Manny: That’s not step four.Jay: Don’t worry about it.Manny: It says right here that you should.Jay: That’s worrying about it.Gloria: I thought you guys might need a drink.Jay: Oh, you have no idea.Gloria: Manny, miamor, I have to get some stuff for our trip. Ay! But have some fun with your father, okay? And I’ll see you Monday. Mwah! It makes me so happy to see my two boys working together.Manny: Jay shocked himself twice.Jay: Okay, Manny.Manny: Well, I warned him.Jay: Yep, he’s been a big help. Season 1 Manny’s father is taking Manny for a couple of days to Disneyland, so Jay and Gloria can go to the wine country to drink some wine, eat some good food. The problem is that Gloria asks Jay to repair the fan in Manny’s room. Jay wants to look for some workers to fix it up, but Gloria thinks that Jay is supposed to do it with Manny and men should take great pride in doing physical labor. So Jay decides to repair it with Manny. In the previous plots, we know that Manny thinks his father is a superman, he can deal with anything. While Jay and Gloria get married only for one month, Manny cannot still get acclimatized to his new surroundings and their relation is not good. Jay wants to improve their relationship, so he let Manny read the instructions. But Manny has been hurling his weight about him. When Gloria goes upstairs to ask the condition, Manny’s utterance makes Jay angry, so Jay uses an irony “he’s been a big help.” Jay’s utterance flouts the first submaxim of quality maxim, the real meaning is that he doesn’t help me even influences me. Manny doesn’t realize the underlying meaning, while Gloria realizes it. So, Gloria forts Jay in the following plots.
