Grice (1981)

In “Logic and Conversation” Grice (1981) classified the conversation maxims into four maxims: maxim of quantity, quality, relation, and manner. Maxim of quantity deals with the amount of information in the conversation: a good conversation contains no more or no less information than what the speaker’s want to know. Maxim of quality is the truth meter of the conversation. A good conversation has to give real information, not false information. Maxim of relation is about the relevancy of the conversation. Sometime, something that seems irrelevant is actually relevant if we connect it with the context. Otherwise, something that seems relevant is actually irrelevant. The last maxim is the maxim of manner. It deals with ambiguity, vagueness, clarity, and briefness of conversation.
