1998, Marja Roelofs, "Hoe bedoel je?": de verwerving van pragmatische vaardigheden, page 56:

Sperber and Wilson (1986) try with their relevance theory to develop Grice's maxim of relation, which he himself leaves undefined.

Onder de pragmatische vertaalveranderingen moeten we ook de relevantietheorie van Gutt (1991) vermelden.

Wat wil dat zeggen dat je niet uitgaat van het coöperatieprincipe maar van het associatieprincipe?

What does it mean to base oneself not on the cooperative principle but rather on the associative principle?

Op basis van dergelijke analyses probeert Clyne (1994) de universele geldigheid van het coöperatieprincipe te redden door een voorstel te doen voor de herformulering van de maximes.

2009, Jan D. ten Thije, “Interculturele communicatie: naar een afbakening van het onderzoeksveld [Intercultural communication: towards a demarcation of the scientific field]”, in Artikelen van de Zesde Anéla conferentie [Articles of the Sixth Anéla conference], page 522:

On the basis of similar analyses Clyne (1994) attempts to save the universal validity of the cooperative principle by proposing the reformulation of the maximes.

Het coöperatieprincipe is een soort stilzwijgende overeenkomst tussen gesprekspartners om bij het communiceren samen te werken.

2012, Anne E. Bakker, Jan Don, Kees Hengeveld, Taal en Taalwetenschap [Language and Linguistics], page 64:

Implicit meaning, or implicature, is the unsaid meaning of an linguistic utterance.

Een zin als Komt hij morgen ook weer mee? wordt pas in de mogelijke implicatuur (Dan blijf ik thuis!) informatief en (dus) bepalend voor het handelen.

2005, Over de oorsprong van de taal, of hoe wij sprekend mens geworden zijn [On the origin of language, or how we became human by speaking], page 84:

A sentence like Will he come along again tomorrow? becomes informative, and (as such) deciding for one's action, only in the possible implicature.

Wanneer sprekers maximes flouten, doen ze dit dus opzettelijk om zo een implicatuur te genereren.

2021, Esther Ruigedijk, Marijke de Belder, Ankelien Schippers, Inleiding Nederlandse taalkunde:

When speakers flout maximes, they do so delibarately so as to generate an implicature.
