Samuel H. Preston, a sociologist at the University of Pennsylvania, studied how the American family is changing. He reported that by the time the average American couple reaches 40 years of age, they have more parents than children. This finding shows the change in lifestyles (生活方式) and duties of aging Americans. The average middle-aged couple can look forward to caring for elderly parents some time after their own children have grown up. Because Americans are living longer than ever, more researchers and social workers have begun to study care giving to improve care of the elderly. When people care for an elderly relative, they often do not use community (社区) services, such as adult (成人) daycare centres. If the care givers are adult children, they are more likely to use such services, especially because they often have jobs and other business. However, the wife of an elderly person is much less likely to use support services or to put the dependent person in a nursing home. Social workers discovered that the reason for this difference was fear of becoming poor. An ill elderly person may live for years, and medical care and nursing homes are very expensive. An elderly couple’s savings can disappear very quickly. The other half, usually the wife, can be left in poor living conditions. As a result, she often tries to take care of her husband herself for as long as she can.

A Study of Conversational Implicature
--The Practical Application in the Play of Oscar Wilde
Abstract: This paper tries to analyze some typical conversations in the famous play of The Importance of Being Ernest of Oscar Wilde with the theory of Cooperative Principle and some conversations Implicature Theory of Grice. Grice’s theories will be presented and some conversations in the play will be quoted. The implicature of the conversations are inferred. So we can see that the CP theory is very powerful in conversational implicature inference. However, this theory is not perfect, thus the principle of tact is added here for complete analysis to the language. Several cases are also analyzed with the tact principle to prove its importance and function. So we make conclusion that we should combine Grice's theory with the tact principle in both language analyzing and common language communication to achieve the best effect.
Keywords: Cooperative Principle; Conversational Implicature; Tact Principle; Oscar Wilde
