Ignoring the maxim of relevance can be seen in the speaker's statement being irrelevant to the conversation.
The following example will show the disregard of the maxim of the wise in terms of orderliness.

Authorial Pronoun We: Capturing Politeness in EFL Academic Writing
Considering the possibility to extend the discussion and the gap in the previous studies on EFL writers' use of authorial pronoun we, the present study aims to reveal the functions and semantic types of authorial pronouns we are in. This study uses quantitative and qualitative corpora - based analysis of first person pronoun, we use AntConc (Anthony, 2011). To find the authorized pronoun we in the data, we performed a Key Word in Context (KWIC) search to find the frequency.
Based on the analysis, the first-person pronoun mi appears as an authorial pronoun more than twice as often as a non-authorial pronoun. A qualitative analysis of the contexts surrounding the occurrence of the authorial pronoun mi gives us insight into its role in five discourse functions, including the assumption of common ground (2a), guidance (2b), review of previous studies (2c), generalization (2d). , procedure (2e), confirmation (2f), claim (2g). These functions then become the basis for determining whether the pronoun we belongs to one of three semantic categories, inclusive, exclusive, and ambiguous.
If the pronoun we has the possibility of the divergence, we categorize it as ambiguous, for example Extract 2a, in which the pronoun we is used by the authors to assume that it is shared. The pronoun we in the sentence "as we know" could be seen from inclusive and exclusive in the co-authored texts. On the other hand, if the divergence process is impossible, we categorized them based on their characteristic of use, regardless of whether pronouns we refer to the authors and readers (inclusive) or only the authors (exclusive).
As we can see in Fragment 2g, the pronoun we can be seen from both inclusive and exclusive points of view. Although the occurrence is less than half of the ambiguous type, these findings reinforce the findings of previous studies on the importance of inclusive pronoun we in research article. We have identified seven functions of the pronoun we and divided them into three semantic types: inclusive, exclusive, and ambiguous.
We also argued that the general choice of pronouns we used by EFL authors could be discerned as a courtesy strategy to soften the potential free trade agreement.
