Conversations in interactive radio program show us an example of spoken language and communication among people. They share story, thought and
opinion through dialogues. In conversations, people in the program sometimes imply their ideas so that the real messages are hidden. In order to know whether
people communicate cooperatively or not, we could analyze the conversations based on the Gricean cooperative principles theory.
