According to the Maxim of Quality, rational agents tend to speak honestly. Due to the influence of Grice, a connection between linguistic rationality and honesty is often taken for granted. However, the connection is not obvious: structural rationality in language use does not require honesty, any more than it requires dishonesty. In particular, Quality does not follow from the Cooperative Principle and structural rationality. But then what is honest rational speech? I propose to move the discussion in the context of Stalnaker's theory of assertion. From this perspective, although there is no most rational way to behave, Quality follows from the structure of Stalnakerian conversations if interlocutors are sensitive to credibility. In this case, honesty is built on the expectation of reciprocity, and cooperativity is an outcome and not a precondition of rational communication. A benefit of my discussion is that the account of linguistic rationality falls under the more general view of interactive rationality familiar from theoretical economics.

诚实是理性的吗?
根据质量准则,理性的代理人倾向于诚实地说话。由于 Grice 的影响,语言理性和诚实之间的联系常常被认为是理所当然的。然而,这种联系并不明显:语言使用的结构合理性不需要诚实,正如它需要不诚实一样。尤其是质量不遵循合作原则和结构合理性。但是,什么是诚实理性的言论?我建议在 Stalnaker 的断言理论的背景下进行讨论。从这个角度来看,尽管没有最理性的行为方式,但如果对话者对可信度敏感,那么质量就会遵循 Stalnakerian 对话的结构。在这种情况下,诚实建立在对互惠的期望之上,合作是理性沟通的结果,而不是前提。我的讨论的一个好处是,对语言理性的解释属于理论经济学熟悉的更普遍的互动理性观点。
