Grice and Burgoon on expectancy violation

From same source as "Uncle Chester can't stand the sight of alcohol":

"When a maxim is violated, we draw an inference (implicature) which makes the utterance conform to these maxims."

"This idea in conversation is somehow parallel to Burgoon's theory on Expectancy Violation (1978)."
