From www.grin.com/e-book/107690/h-p-grice-logic-and-conversatio...

"Grice introduces Conversational Enterprises -- concerted enterprises often include ,,a high degree of reserve, hostility, and chicanery and with a high degree of diversity9." "Other cases are cross-examination where even common objectives are spurious, and the joint enterprise which simulates even the most minimal conversational co-operation." "This distinction between the several examples for
Conversational Enterprises are important for the decision whether a specific enterprise wants to achieve a specific conversational result or whether "its central character more generously conceived as having no special connection with communication, the same principles will determine the rationality of its conduct.10"
