1.4. Types of Implicature
Conversational implicature : In this case the speaker communicates meaning via implicature and the listener recognizes communicated meaning via inference.
Generalized conversational implicature: In this type, no special knowledge is required in the context to calculate the additional conveyed meaning.
Scalar implicature : There are words that are mentioned to communicate an amount of something in a scale.
Particularized conversational implicatures : In this type, context helps inferences to be assumed.
Conventional implicatures: Conventional implicatures are associated with specific words and result in additional conveyed meanings when those are used.
