CONVERSATIONAL IMPLICATURES
Résumé de section

-
A conversational implicature is an additional meaning a hearer infers from an utterance beyond what is explicitly said, based on the assumption that interlocutors are participating in a rational, cooperative exchange (in Grice’s sense). The implicature is not part of the conventional meaning of the words themselves; it is derived by pragmatic reasoning from what was said, the context, and conversational principles.
