📝 Contenu du Prompt
Analyze the transcript of a high-stakes political negotiation (invented). Identify instances where the speakers violate Grice's four maxims: Quantity, Quality, Relation, and Manner. For each violation: 1) Identify the specific sentence or phrase. 2) Classify the type of violation (e.g., flouting, violating, opting out). 3) Infer the conversational implicature intended by the speaker (what they meant vs. what they said). Discuss how these implicatures shift the power dynamic during the negotiation.
