| Implicature, philosophy of language: Implicature is an expression by H. P. Grice on prerequisites within a communication, which are accepted tacitly by the participants and which can be noticed in the formulation of a single sentence, e.g. through an ironic formulation. (See Paul Grice, Studies in the Way of Words, Harvard 1989, pp. 22-40.)_____________Annotation: The above characterizations of concepts are neither definitions nor exhausting presentations of problems related to them.

H.P. Grice on Implicature - Dictionary of Arguments
Graeser I 120 Implication/Grice: implication follows from what is said. Implicature: implicature does not follow from what was said - at least one conversational rule is violated. >Implication. - - - Grice IV 248 Conversational implicature/Grice: the contribution should be informative, appropriate, true, justified, unambiguous and clearly structured - it must be possible to replace the conversational implicature by an argument, otherwise it would be a conventional implicature. >Information, >Communication. IV 264 1. If it is suspected, one must assume cooperation. 2) Conversational implicature is preserved at reformulation. 3) Conversational implicature presumes knowledge of the conventional role of the expression - therefore, conversational implicature is not part of the original specification of the conventional role. 4) Truth of what is said is not necessarily truth of the conversational implicature - bearer of the conversational implicature is therefore the act of saying, not what is said. 5) To get behind conversational implicature means to get behind what is necessary for adoption of maintenance of the cooperation principle. - - - Cohen I 410 Conversational implicature/Grice: if it is not deleted, "if, then" is purely truth-functional. The assumption of non-truth-functional reasons is not transmitted here by the meaning, but by the implicature, e.g. if the government falls, there will be turmoil. >Truth functions. Cohen: here there is nothing stronger/Weaker._____________Explanation of symbols: Roman numerals indicate the source, arabic numerals indicate the page number.
