We are born to talk we may think of ourselves as having been programmed to talk communication is generally considered to be the primary purpose of language (Weeks 1979:1). Premise 2 is that most talk/speech is organized as conversation. Human beings spend a large part of their lives engaging in conversation and for most of them conversation is among their most significant and engrossing activities (Richards and Schmidt 1983:117). Premise 3 is that conversation operates according to a certain agreed upon set of cooperative rules or maxims (Grice 1975). Premise 4 is that one learns how these cooperative maxims are realized in ones native language through casual, everyday conversational interaction. Premise 5 is that one learns how the maxims are realized in a second language through participation in cooperatively structured interactional activities. --------------------The End------------------------
