Abstract: (288 Views)
This study applies Grice's cooperative principle and its conversational maxims to analyze the interrogation transcript of Mirza Reza Kermani, a significant historical document. Leveraging Claude.ai., as an artificial intelligence assistant for a rigorous quantitative and qualitative assessment, the research examines 52 question-and-response pairs to evaluate the adherence to Grice's maxims: quality, quantity, relevance, and manner. The findings show high compliance with the maxims of quality (86.54%) and relevance (82.69%), but lower adherence to the maxims of quantity (73.07%) and manner (28.86%). The study provides a detailed categorization of instances of both adherence and violation, revealing strategic communication tactics by the suspect, including evasion and ambiguity, which often necessitated adaptive interrogation techniques. These insights emphasize the importance of tailored questioning strategies to address such evasive behaviors and highlight the need for a nuanced, analytical approach to interpreting responses. The integration of AI in this analysis enhances the objectivity and systematization of examining the complex dynamics in historical interrogation records, offering valuable implications for law enforcement and legal professionals.
