Canadian Social Science Vol.4 No.3 June 2008 The Violation of Cooperative Principle and the Four Maxims in Psychological Consulting LA VIOLATION DU PRINCIPE COOPERATIF ET LES QUATRE MAXIMES DANS LA CONSULTATION PSYCHOLOGIQUE 1 LI Jia Abstract: The Cooperative Principle (CP) and the four maxims are widely believed by linguists to be essential in the implementation of conversations. However, CP and the four maxims are also frequently flouted on such occasions as joke-telling or achieving politeness. This paper focuses on the environment of psychological consulting and attempts to explore the violation of CP in this specific environment. Through an analysis of conversational implicature and the occurrences of the violation of CP in the three selected excerpts from The female Psychologist by Bi Shumin, it is found that the recognition of conversational implicature is crucial for the understanding of the non-cooperative attitudes of the speakers and the violation of one or more CP maxims. Key words: the Cooperative Principle (CP), four maxims, conversational implicature, flouting, The Female Psychologist Résumé: Le Principe Coopératif (CP) et les quatre maximes qui sont largement estimé par les linguistes sont essentiels à la mise en oeuvre des conversations.

Le présent document se concentre sur lenvironnement de consultation psychologique et essaye à explorer la violation de CP
