Since Grice presented the theory of Conversational Implicature in
his essay "Logic and Conversation," in William James Lecture in
early 1967, the theory becomes one of the major topics in
Pragmatic. Most of the linguists work on his theory relating to
various conversational norms. Among these theoretical applications
investigation of the treatment of maxims, causes of cooperative
principles and violation of maxims are the main areas of this
theory. This book proposes to investigate the theory of
Conversational Implicature in the dialogues of a very popular
Manipuri voice (Radio) play named "Nongaallabasu Thaaballei Manam"
(Lingering Fragrance) that was broadcasted from All India Radio,
Imphal (AIR, Imphal) about 18 years ago. It is possible that one of
the reasons that the play appealed so much to the imagination of
Manipuri people is the way in which it at the same time obeyed and
violated Gricean Cooperative Principles and Conversational Maxims
thereby creating space for a whole range of possible conversational
implicatures.
