A Review of Cooperative Principle (Published)
Cooperative Principle was proposed by Grice, which can effectively enhance the persuasiveness of communication. However, interlocuters do not always agree with those principles and their flouting of those maxims can create implicatures to express their ideas. In this paper, the author will briefly introduce the CP theory, conversational implicature, and conventional implicature.

Pragmatic Differences between Cooperative Principle and Politeness Principle in Chinese and English Commentators’ Utterances (Published)
From the perspective of pragmatics, this paper makes a comparative study on utterances from Chinese commentators and English commentators, through four groups of Chinese-English real authentic corpus in the same e-sports competition. Results show that Chinese commentators attach great importance to harmony and indirect euphemism, so they would take priority on Politeness Principle. Whereas English commentators tend to be more straightforward, so they pay more attention to the Cooperative Principle. According to existing researches, due to the differences between Chinese and western cultures, Chinese and western native speakers have different thinking modes, which makes them have different tendency in observing the Cooperative Principle and Politeness Principle in communication.
