I’ve definitely heard of Grice’s maxims before. I guess my framing is somewhat different because I’m suggesting that the meaning of the words changes with context, whereas Grice’s maxims seem to be suggesting that the meaning is the same but the additional information is carried from the context/from following the rules. That said, this might not be a substantive difference.
