What is successful communication? This question was analyzed by the famous linguist and philosopher Paul Grice. Grice’s Principle of Cooperation and his theory of Implicatures are part of the Gricean Model of Communication and were his most influential contributions to philosophy and linguistics. In this essay I will discuss the flaws of the Gricean Model of Communication, but also show why it is still relevant in our modern society.
