| dc.description.abstract | This research investigates and analyzes the violation of Maxims of Grice's Cooperative Principle (CP) by Pakistani politicians in Urdu TV talk shows. Special attention is paid to politicians' deliberate violation of Maxim of Relevance and resort to the technique of squabbling and bickering mostly to avoid referencing their incompetence and corruption. Further, the claim that the violations are intentional and purposeful ploys on the politicians' part to neutralize potential harm to their reputations is justified by extraordinary frequency of such phenomena as the anchors' lack of success in their overt attempts to ensure better adherence to the maxims of the said principle. Both Qualitative and Quantitative research methods are employed to analyze the participants' conversations, with tables and graphs indicating the frequency of relevant, partly relevant and irrelevant answers. The findings of the study point out that the frequency of irrelevant answers is quite high, politicians manipulate the conversation to achieve certain goals, it also highlight the fact that the conversation becomes ineffective when there is a violation of the maxims of Grice's CP. The study will be helpful for the students of media studies and language and communication as it stresses the significance of effective communication. | en_US |
