Different Homeopathic Characters Violate Cooperative Principles Differently

Abstract

Alongside differences from language to language, there are so many diversities in use of a single language by its speakers. This study was designed to determine whether there is any difference between speakers' ways of violating Gricean maxims according to homeopathy classifications. Pragmatics studies of a language deals with these variations. Considering human being complexities reflected in behavior and language, these kinds of study can be so variable. Discourse analysis is one of the ways to illustrate the differences both in language use and ideologies of speakers, and it is claimed that gender is a significant factor in talking differently. Cooperative Priciples introduced by Grice (1975) are used to analyze the data in the present research to illustrate the human different ways to use language. Data of the research is transcription of patients' talk in consulting sessions, who are under homeopathic treatment. Homeopathy as a new method of treatment is a whole medical system in which disorder or disturbance of the dynamis is called sickness. There are 15 widespread homeopathic characters, from which Natrum Muraticum and Sulfur are chosen for the sake of this research. After analyzing their language by means of Gricean Maxims it is concluded that the differenciating element in violating the maxims is being different homeopathic characters, not gender differences.

The Violation of Cooperative Principles and Four Maxims in Iranian Psychological Consultation

“…Gricean Maxims are not always obeyed and their violation or floating bears more information than if they were obeyed (Darighgoftar & Ghaffari, 2012). The flouting of a maxim can be defined as occasions when one or several maxims are absent during communication processes (Jia, 2008).…”

“…So further study is needed to probe the same issue based on first hand data obtained through real life consulting sessions, not via books or novels. Darighgoftar & Ghaffari (2012) designed a study to determine whether there is any difference between speakers' ways of violating Gricean maxims according to homeopathy classifications. Their study is not exactly exploring the violation of Grice's CP; it seeks some connections between language factors and other human issues.…”

Conversational Implications in Zootopia in the Light of Violations of the Cooperative Principle

“…However, in the actual process of communication, people do not always strictly adhere to these guidelines, and may even deliberately violate them to produce "extra-verbal" meaning, or "special return meaning", to achieve certain communicative purposes. As Darighgoftar and Ghaffari pointed out, not always are Gricean maxims adhered to, and their violation or fluttering carries more information about the meaning of the maxim than when they are adhered to [9]. Gricean maxim defiance described as situations where one or more maxims fail to be present in the communication process [10].…”

Ketidakpatuhan Maksim Perbualan dan Komunikasi Berkesan dalam “Soal Rakyat”

“…Mematuhi maksim ada kalanya tidak berlaku dalam realiti komunikasi (Al-Saedi, 2013;Darighgoftar & Ghaffari, 2012;Nieto Álvaro, 2011;Zahid, 2018). Ini berlaku baik secara sedar mahupun tidak.…”
