T1 La significación social de las máximas de Grice: el caso del cómic alternativo inglés
A1 Yus Ramos, Francisco
AB Grice’s proposals have aroused much interest in researchers duringthe last decade, especially since Sperber & Wilson applied those ideasto a new Principle of Relevance. Grice developed a set of conversationalpostulates –maxims in his terminology– that accounted for thespeakers’ overall effort to develop their conversational interactions in acooperative way (his so-called Cooperative Principle). In this articlewe propose a new application of Grice’s maxims in a medium which isboth verbal and visual: English alternative comics. The main hypothesisunderlying this paper is that comic artists, willing to outline a clearcutthree-fold picture of English social classes (low, middle, high), tendto characterize their characters’ speech in such a way that Grice’s maximsare violated in class-specific ways according to what social stratumthey belong to. Therefore, Grice’s maxims turn out to acquire asocial significance which was not intended in Grice’s conversationalmaxims.
