摘 要

    会话在人类交际中是一个非常重要的活动，格莱斯的合作原则是语用学的一个重要理论，它在解释语言含义方面开启了一个新途径。格莱斯合作原则包括数量准则、质量准则、关系准则和方式准则，本文选取《好运查理》进行分析，因为这部情景喜剧中的对话多次应用合作原则中的四项准则，从而构成会话含义。研究得出在日常对话中，人们总是有意或无意地违反合作原则，或是为了表达另一种意思，或是为了达到自己的目的，或是为了转移话题。通过此次研究，我们不仅可以更好理解这个情景剧的人物特性，还可以提高对日常会话的分析能力。

Abstract

    Conversation is an essential activity in human communication; Grice's Cooperative Principle is an important theory in pragmatics which finds a new way to explain language meaning. Grice's Cooperative Principle includes the maxims of quantity, quality, relation and manner. This paper selects Good Luck of Charlie for analysis, because this sitcom entails conversational implicature by violating these four maxims repeatedly. Through this research, we can know that people always violate the Cooperative Principle intentionally or unintentionally in daily conversation. Someone violates the maxims to express another meaning or for his purpose, some others just want to change or avoid the topic. This research can not only help us deepen the understanding of characters in this sitcom, but also enhance the analysis ability of communicative activities in daily life.

Key words: The Cooperative Principle; Good Luck of Charlie; conversational implicature; four maxims’ violation
