A Pragmatic Analysis Based on the Character Dialogue in the Great Gatsby

: H. P. Grice pioneered the study of conversational logic and put forward the classic theory of Conversational Implicature and Cooperative Principle. Completely adhering to Cooperative Principle or deliberately violating it will lead to Conversational Implicature. In The Great Gatsby, the main characters, such as Gatsby and Daisy, tactically violate or abide by the relevant maxims of Cooperative Principle in their conversational communication, thus generating Conversational Implicature and expressing their true feelings. At the same time, the conversational style and language style of the characters in the novel reflect the character characteristics and status of the characters, which plays an important role in shaping the image of the characters and establishing the relationship between the characters.
