The following diagram has been prepared for this study.Terms and definitions are taken from Grice 1975:45-46 and Leech1983:22-147 Banter Principle (BP) Banter "is an offensive way of being friendly (mock-impoliteness)".
Underpoliteness "can have the opposite effect of establishing or maintaining a bond of familiarity".
The "more intimate the relationship, the less important it is to be polite.Hence lack of politeness in itself can become a sign of intimacy".

Maxims
Definitions and/or explanations Processibility Principle "[T]he text should be presented in a manner that makes it easy for the hearer to decode in time.A text (in contrast to a message) is essentially linear and time-bound".This principle also applies "to syntactic and semantic aspects of the text".End-Focus "[I]f the rules of the language allow it, the part of a clause which contains new information should be placed at the end." End-Weight It "induces a syntactic structure in which 'light' constituents precede 'heavy' ones".
End-Scope "[L]ogical operators such as a negative operator or a quantifier precede, rather than follow, the elements (including other logical operators) which are within their scope".
Clarity Principle This "Principle might be regarded as subordinate to the Processibility Principle".
Transparency "Retain a direct and transparent relationship between semantic and phonological structure (i.e. between message and text)".
Economy Principle "If one can shorten the text while keeping the message unimpaired, this reduces the amount of time and effort involved both in encoding and in decoding.As this description implies, the Economy principle is continually at war with the Clarity principle".Expressivity Principle This is "concerned with effectiveness in a broad sense which includes expressive and aesthetic aspects of communication, rather than simply with efficiency".This principle operates because of "expressive repetition, where the emphasis of repetition has some rhetorical value such as surprising, impressing, or rousing the interest of the addressee".Iconicity It "invites the user, all other things being equal, to make the text imitate aspects of the message".

Allow the hearer to grasp your offensive point by implicature."The ironic force of a remark is often signaled by exaggeration or understatement".Exaggeration (hyperbole) and understatement (litotes or meiosis) are "actually used to deceive the addressee".The function of the IP is to keep "aggression away from the brink of conflict".The implicature of the IP: What s says is polite to h and is clearly not true.Therefore what s really means is impolite to h and true."The ironic force of a remark is often signaled by exaggeration or understatement".Exaggeration (hyperbole) and understatement (litotes or meiosis) are "actually used to deceive the addressee".INTERPERSONAL RHETORIC Maxims Definitions and/or explanations The function of the IP is to keep "aggression away from the brink of conflict".The implicature of the IP: What s says is polite to h and is clearly not true.Therefore what s really means is impolite to h and true.
