Our main claim in this paper is that, although Grice's theory is apparently about conversation, it has a potential to account for and explain discourse in institutional contexts. However, in order to achieve this, due attention has to be paid to factors of a societal kind. For us, this should mean examining the correlations between participants' socioeconomic interests, their social identities, the social and situational powers they (do not) possess, their expectations about activities, etc. on the one hand, and principled forms of language use, on the other. We proceed as follows: first, we outline how the Cooperative Principle has been defined by Grice himself. Next we draw attention to how his theory has been received within various strands of linguistic enquiry. On the basis of our analysis of instances of institutional discourse (both spoken and written), we then formulate a number of proposals to meet some of the apparent shortcomings in the original Gricean scheme. These proposals are contained within an appeal for a social pragmatics which goes beyond meaning on a speaker-hearer basis and the immediate discourse situation.
