Conventional implicature revisited

Journal of Pragmatics, 2008
Abstract I suggest a new approach to terms famous for introducing conventional implicatures, “even”, “but”, and so on. I call these expressions View on Content Devices or VCDs. First, I focus on the nature of VCD's semantic contribution to sentences.

Conventional implicature

2020
This chapter presents a monadic analysis of conventional implicatures. These expressions are compositionally challenging and also seem to challenge the traditional semantics/pragmatics divide by straddling it. This chapter first introduces two main sorts of conventional implicature, appositives and expressives.

A Contrastive Analysis: What is the Conventional Implicature? Is the “Bad” Content of a Slur Conveyed as a Conventional Implicature?

European Journal of Language and Culture Studies, 2022
The conventional implicature, arguably, refers to plenty of linguistic aspects with respect to episteme, metaphysics, as well as semantic criticism of language.

Into the Conventional‐Implicature Dimension

Philosophy Compass, 2007
Abstract Grice coined the term ‘conventional implicature’ in a short passage in ‘Logic and Conversation’. The description is intuitive and deeply intriguing.

Conventional Implicature Accounts

Calculability, Convention, and Conversational Implicature

2018
I applaud the arguments in Lepore and Stone (2015) that Gricean, Neo-Gricean, and Relevance theories of conversational implicature and utterance interpretation are deeply flawed because the additional meanings speakers convey when using sentences are conventional rather than calculable. I then go on to rebut several conclusions Lepore and Stone endorse

Implicature, convention, and the taming of the shrew

Poetics, 1981
Abstract In understanding texts, people depend on a variety of interpretative strategies, which interact at all stages of the process to produce meanings. Some of the strategies interpreters use are based on linguistic, literary, and cultural conventions; others are based on unconventional beliefs, observations of natural cause-and-effect ...

AbstractThis paper considers the class of meaning that Grice (1975) referred to as conventional implicature (CI). There has been a great deal of discussion on this topic since the work of Potts (2005), and much new data has been brought to bear on the subject.
