Abstract
According to the relationship between meaning and context, the speaker must choose words in a way that fits the requirements of the context and the meaning he intends to convey to the recipient through the message (text). One of the most important theories emerging from the core of this modern science is the theory of the dialogical necessity of Grice. In this theory, Grice specifies that interlocutors must adhere to the principles of cooperation, which include the four principles of quantity, quality, communication, and the manner or context of expression and shape the dialogue process. Based on the descriptive-analytical approach and relying on Grice's theory, this research tries to examine the principles of cooperation based on the four rules in the second scene of the play “Al-Hussein Thaera” by the Egyptian writer Abd al-Rahman al-Sharqawi, and in the end it concludes that the parties to the conversation are more Among other principles of cooperation, they have violated the first and second principles, followed by the third principle and then the fourth principle. It was also found that the violation of these principles was done to pay attention to a meaning that was more necessary than the usual and expected answer and was in accordance with the way of expressing the conversation. In this scene of the show, the interlocutors have sometimes relied on an indirect way to find fault with each other.
