Abstract Herbert Paul Grice proposed Cooperative Principle in his Logic and Conversation in 1967. He believes that the communications of our human beings are not combinations of a series of unrelated words, but subject to some restrictions, a successful conversation is a result of joint efforts made by both sides. when we are in a conversation, in order to achieve the purpose of communication, we need to cooperate with each other, and sometimes to comply with certain rules. On the other hand, if we break the rules, people still understand what we mean. It is the cooperative principle that is at work. In this paper, I will use Friends as prototype, then adopts the method of description and explanation to study the application of the cooperative principle in the compliments and responses. By studying this topic, we can further know the importance and benefits of CP in our daily conversation.
