The violation of the mentioned conditions creates infelicitous model. It means that interlocutors disobey felicious conditions to convey their intentions successfully. The data samples taken from Beyhaqi history which is a historical drama resulting in tragedy which begins with the death of Ghaznavid great sultan, and ends with the destruction of a powerful chief minister. Adopting pragmatic analysis, present study investigates the dialogues of Bayhaqi's History so that it intends to study how characters do their communicative purposes while they produce their utterances.
