The history of conventional implicatures is rocky, their current status uncertain. It seems wise to return to their source and start fresh, with an open-minded reading of the original definition (Grice, 1975) and an eye open for novel support. Suppose the textbook examples (therefore, even, but and synonyms) disappeared. Where would conventional implicatures be then? This paper argues that they...

We call approaches which use decision theoretic explications of Grice’ relevance maxim for selecting best answers and calculating implicatures relevance scale approaches. In this paper we discuss these approaches with respect to the questions: Are intuitively optimal assertions identical to assertions with maximal relevance? Can classical relevance implicatures be explained by the assumption th...

An important component of recent pragmatic theorising is the view that the linguistically encoded meaning of an utterance often falls far short of determining the proposition that a speaker explicitly communicates and that the gap between the two is bridged by highly context-sensitive pragmatic processes. Crucially, processes of ‘free pragmatic enrichment’, that is, processes that are not dicta...

The phrase "pragmatic enrichment" is sometimes used in a broad sense to refer to the process in virtue of which the content conveyed by an utterance comes to include all sorts of elements which are contextually implied without being part of what the utterance literally means. In his class notes "Pragmatic Enrichment : Introduction by Examples," Chris Potts gives examples like the following: (1)...
