The cooperative principle:
in this principle we can find four maxims that shouldn`t be taken as rules or laws, this maxims are suggestions that help us to understand human comunication. Those maxims are:
quality maxim
quantity maxim
manner maxim
relevance maxim
in this blog we will explain about the last 2 maxims ( relevance and manner)
manner maxim:
explain that our messages must be cristal clear, I mean, that must be easy to understand for the listener/reader
for example: if we are in a room with our friend and he ask us:
Hey do you know where Mary is?
we should answer:
Yes, she is up stairs
relevance maxim:
it says that our messages should be as relevant as possible according to the contextual situation; what is appropriate according to the situation, the topic of conversation, the relation we have with the person we are speaking to.

Ho Dhiego! The blog has interesting information, but watch out with your grammar, since there are basic sentences which have grammar mistakes. Try to find them and check them. Finally, remember that you have to post as much examples as you can, not only for showing the maxims, but also reflecting when they can be violated as I told told you in class. Find me if you have more doubts... Success!! =)
