Abstract

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.
