Conversational Implicatures and Legal Texts
Ratio Juris, 2015AbstractLegal 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 ...

In this paper I want to argue that (i) there are major problems for reducing Gricean pragmatics to these two principles, and ...

The problem is that the uses of linguistic expressions often convey more information than is expressed by their
