According to some pragmatists, certain conversational implicatures of an uttered sentence may be composed into the truth-conditional content of more complex constructions (e.g. conditionals or comparatives) in which that sentence is embedded. I present two arguments against this view, the one based on the intuitive (in)validity of arguments couched in natural language, the other on the (in)cohe...

This paper presents an approach for achieving conciseness in generating explanations, which is clone by exploiting formal reconstructions of aspects of the Gricean principle of relevance to simulate conversational implicature. By applying contextually motivated inference rules in an anticipation feed-back loop, a set of propositions explicitly representing an explanation's content is reduced to...

I've known about conversational implicature a lot longer than I've known Larry. In 1967 I read Grice's " Logical and Conversation " in mimeograph, shortly after his William James lectures, and I read its precursor " (Implication), " section III of " The Causal Theory of Perception " , well before that. And I've thought, read, and written about implicature off and on ever since. Nevertheless, I ...

I show that the exhaustive interpretation of answers can be explained as a conversational implicature through the Maxim of Relation, dealing with the problematic epistemic step (Sauerland, 2004). I assume a fairly standard Maxim of Relation, that captures the same intuition as Roberts’ (1996) contextual entailment. I show that if a richer notion of meaning is adopted, in particular that of atte...

In this paper I will be examining and evaluating three conversational implicatures from the gospel of Matthew along with their translations in Tok Pisin, a lingua franca country Papua New Guinea. My purpose examination is to evaluate whether they contain are likely communicate same truth conditional meaning translation as original. After evaluation show my proposed additions ensure that origina...

The paper looks at constraints on non-wh relatives in Sorani Kurdish (Iranian) and English (Germanic). We argue that some of them are grammatical, whereas others introduce social meaning. present a basic, lexicalist syntactic analysis expand it with meaning constraints. propose classical sociolinguistic variables have the status conventional implicatures overall assessment style is treated as p...
