Match the concepts drawn from Grice's maxims given in List - I with appropriate inferences given in List - II :
| List - I | List - II |
|---|---|
| a. Maxim of manner | i. Do not make your contribution more or less informative than required |
| b. Maxim of quality | ii. Be relevant |
| c. Maxim of quantity | iii. Try to make your contribution one that is true |
| d. Maxim of relevance | iv. Be brief and orderly |
Codes : a b c d
Answer: A
The correct matching is a-iv, b-iii, c-i, d-ii. The maxim of manner says to be brief and orderly. The maxim of quality says to try to make your contribution one that is true. The maxim of quantity says not to make your contribution more or less informative than required, and the maxim of relation (relevance) says to be relevant.
This is code (A). The other codes pair quantity with relevance or manner with quality, which Grice's maxims do not do.
