The present book applies the interpretative framework of Gricean Cooperative Principle (1975) to the analysis of conversations in which characters in novels flout, violate, suspend, infringe, and opt out of four Maxims of Cooperative Principle. Here is a piecemeal analysis of deviations from four Maxims of CP in the five novels by Indian writers in English: Temporary Answers (1974) by Jai Nimbkar, Heat and Dust (1975) by R.P. Jhabvala, Cry, the Peacock (1980) by Anita Desai, Socialite Evenings (1989) by Shobha De, and The Binding Vine (1993) by Shashi Deshpande. Conversations from the fictional discourse by Henry Fielding, Charles Dickens, D.H. Lawrence, Raja Rao, R.K. Narayan, Khushwant Singh, Chaman Nahal, Rama Mehta, H.G. Wells, O. Henry, and Premchand have also been analysed by applying this interpretative framework. The book attempts to show how this interpretative framework enriches the study of fictional discourse.
The book will be immensely useful to teachers, students, and budding researchers of English literature, along with social psychologists, sociologists and sociolinguists.
