Conversational Implicature

2022
Το συνομιλιακό υπονοήμα είναι (χονδρικά) η πρακτική της μετάδοσης ενός νοήματος λέγοντας κάτι άλλο. Στη φιλοσοφική και γλωσσική μελέτη πάνω στο θέμα κυριαρχεί η προσέγγιση που προτείνει ο Paul Grice – το Gricean πλαίσιο, όπως το αποκαλώ - σύμφωνα με το οποίο τα υπονοήματα μπορούν να υπολογιστούν από τις αρχές της συνεργατικής συμπεριφοράς.

Conversational Implicatures and Cancellability

Acta Analytica, 2009
In this paper I argue against a criticism by Matthew Weiner to Grice’s thesis that cancellability is a necessary condition for conversational implicature. I argue that the purported counterexamples fail because the supposed failed cancellation in the cases Weiner presents is not meant as a cancellation but as a reinforcement of the implicature.

Law and Conversational Implicatures

International Journal for the Semiotics of Law - Revue internationale de Sémiotique juridique, 2010
This essay investigates the applicability of Grice’s theory of conversational implicatures to legal interpretation, in order to highlight some of its characteristics. After introducing the notions of language and discourse, and briefly explaining the most salient aspects of Grice’s theory, I will analyse the interpretation of two types of legal acts ...

Conversational Implicatures Are Still Cancellable

Acta Analytica, 2012
Is it true that all conversational implicatures are cancellable? In some recent works (Weiner Analysis 66(2):127–130, 2004, followed by Blome-Tillmann Analysis 68(2):156–160, 2008 and, most recently, by Hazlett 2012), the property of cancellability that, according to Grice (1989), conversational implicatures must possess has been called into question ...

Conversational Implicatures and Legal Texts

Ratio Juris, 2015
AbstractLegal texts are often given interpretations that deviate from their literal meanings. While legal concerns often motivate these interpretations, others can be traced to linguistic phenomena. This paper argues that systematicities of language usage, captured by certain theories of conversational implicature, can sometimes explain why the ...

Conversational Implicatures of Normative Discourse

2019
Grice (1967) formulated his famous maxims having mainly in mind the assertive discourse, i.e. a discourse which aims to inform, and can be true or false. However, as it is well known, norms do not aim to inform: they aim to guide behaviours, and, therefore, they are neither true nor false.

The Semantic Reading and Conversational Implicature

1996
The pragmatic notion of conversational implicature is in an important respect similar to the notion of deixis, in the sense that the notion is motivated by features of language use for which the traditional semantic techniques cannot account. The problem is that the uses of linguistic expressions often convey more information than is expressed by their

Grice, Conversational Implicature and Philosophy

2013
The importance of Grice’s theory of conversation and in particular his account of conversational implicature (Grice in Studies in the way of words. Harvard University Press, Harvard, pp. 22–40, 1975; 1978) in the development and current concerns of pragmatics is almost impossible to exaggerate.
