title: The violation of the cooperative maxim in early childhood:   A pragmatic case study

description: The study examined the violation of the maxim of cooperation in early   childhood conversation be means of a pragmatic case study, which is an   important undertaking given the strong influence of the surrounding   environment on children’s language development. Previous studies have   delved into this area, particularly with regard to children with special needs,   but have not widely explored how such a violation emerges in the early   childhood period. Here, we adopted a qualitative approach using a pragmatic   case study design, and over seven months collected data by observing,   listening to and recording the conversations of a 4-year-old boy. The results   of this process were used as transcripts for conversation data. Specifically, we   found that of the 40 conversation data items concerning the form of   cooperative maxim violations, there were 13 (32.5%) conversation data items.   These results indicate that children in the early childhood period already   possess pragmatic abilities, as evidenced by the ability to answer questions   relevantly, but are constrained by their ignorance in answering questions   correctly, thereby leading many children to violate the maxim of manners.
