Grice's Maxims, Politeness and Face Theory

Hi everyone,

We covered a lot of ground on Monday and I introduced you to 3 fairly complex theories. Without you completing your own independent wider reading and research, you will not be able to fill in the gaps to ensure you fully understand these concepts, which are vital to your study of language and will be far more pertinent in Year 2.

With this in mind, today I want you to spend this lesson re-reading the theories and researching them online, looking at linguistic blogs, articles, anything you can find to aide your understanding.

Please make notes on your own blogs.

Here's a YouTube clip relating to Grice's Maxims.
