According to the maxim of relation, when the speaker produces an apparently irrelevant utterance, the hearer usually tries to interpret it in a way that makes it relevant to the ongoing context. In (), Speaker A will assume that Speaker B’ utterance is relevant to her question and it allows the inference “yes” as a response. That is, she will likely interpret that the weather is so cold that Speaker B has to wear very warm clothes to school. Thus, in this respect, the maxim of relation brings about the orderliness to conversational interactions; all utterances in a conversation are concerned with the same topic.
