"Good night"
• Father: I think I'll go downstairs to say "good-night" to Nancy's boyfriend. He has been here long enough. • Mother: Now, George, don't you forget how we were when we were young? • Father: That does it! Out he goes!
Common interest in communication
• Lack of common interest will misled communication. • One fammer meets another and says: “Hey, Sam, my horse‘s got distemper(犬瘟热). What did you give yours when it had it?" "Turpentine", grunted Sam. A week later they meet again and the first farmer shouts: “Sam, I gave my horse turpentine(松节油) like you said and it killed him." "So did mine." nodded Sam.
Categories of Implicature
examples for implicature
• 1. She is a new hand here; therefore she turns up on time. (conventional) • 2. John often dines out with a woman. (generalized, conversational) • 3. where is the ice-cream? The kids and their pals had a party here last night. (particularized conversational) • 4. Do you want to wash your hands? (nonconversational, non-conventional)

3.3 Types of implicatures
conventional implicature (规约含义). 规约意义与某些词语(如but、therefore等)的规 约意义密切相关,但对话语的真假值没有影响。 如:Smith is poor, but he is honest. 此句中but所触发的贫穷和诚实的对立就是一种规 约含义。

3.2 Implicature and implication
Grice pointed out the inadequate attention to the nature and importance of the conditions governing conversation. According to him, “and” means basically the same as “˄” and the additional meaning like “then” as found in the second sentence is an implicature that we infer in consideration of the context.
3.2 Implicature and implication
Implicature and implicatum implicature: implying implicatum: what is implied Implicature covers the meaning of implicatum, used in both singular and plural forms to refer to what is implicated or implied. Implicatum: out of use
IMPLICATURE 语用学
A: Shall we hold the football match tomorrow?
B: It is raining.
Semantic and literal meaning: his answer unrelated to the question. Intended meaning: the football match will be canceled as ground is wet and slippery after the rain.
(c) Carmen: I hear you’ve invite Mat and Chris. Dave : I didn’t invite Mat. (Did Dave invite Chris?) →Dave invited Chris.
The notion of implicature provides some explicit account of how it is possible to mean more than what is actually “said” , or more than what is literally expressed.
a) Tom : Are you going to Mark‟s party tonight? Annie : My parents are in town. (No.) Shared knowledge : Annie‟s relation with her parents b) Tom : Where‟s the salad dressing? Gabriel : We‟ve run out of olive oil. (There isn‟t any salad dressing.) Shared knowledge : Oliver oil is a possible ingredient in salad dressing and they only use salad dressing made from olive oil.

There is a gap between what is literally said and what is implied. So in this case, implicature helps to explain how some seemingly unrelated sentences come to mean the same. With the help of context , the use of implicature makes our language use more colorful. We may express the same meaning in different ways to suit appropriate context.(何自然)

We normally assume that, where speakers have a scale of values at their disposal, they will chose the one that is truthful and optimally informative. So we normally draw the implicature ‘not any of the higher values on the scale’.

语用学The Theory of Conversational Implicature
Conversational Implicatures
• A conversational implicature is an inference from the semantic content depending on context, speaker's intention, hearer's attitude and the mutual['mjuːtʃʊəl] assumption共同假设. • Grice's Theory of Conversational Implicature (1967) is "one of the single most important ideas in pragmatics" (Levinson, 1983)
Cancellability (可撤消性): If the linguistic or situational contexts changes, the implicature will also change. A: Do you want some coffee? B: Coffee would keep me awake. (I do not like coffee.) B: Coffee would keep me awake. I want to stay up.
• 2) The Cooperative Principle
• to explain the mechanisms(['mek(ə)nɪz(ə)m]机制,原理) by which people interpret conversational implicature or to explain why people often mean more than what they say, Grice (1975) proposed the Cooperative Principle and introduced four conversational maxims • The general principle • Both the speaker and the hearer try to be cooperative in the ongoing communicative exchange according to certain purposes. • a rational (合理的;理性的) speaker in normal cases will follow this general principle

A: Mike has two pencils. (John has only two pencils and no more)
B: Mike has two pencils and perhaps two or more. (By adding “perhaps two or more”, the implicature disappears)
假设大家都知道John is an idiot.,但偏要嘲笑说John is a genius,即使不说这句话,改说下面任何一种同义结构:
()John is a mental prodigy. () John is an exceptionally clever human being. () John is an enormous intellect. () John is a big brain.
B: It is raining.
Semantic and literal meaning: his answer unrelated to the
question.
B’s implicature: the football match will be canceled as the
ground is wet and slippery after the rain.

格赖斯的意义理论发端于1957年的Meaning一文,丰 满成形于1967年在哈佛大学作的系列讲座, 1989年出版的 Studies in the Way of Words一书是这一思想的总结, 其基本 内容可以概括为以下几点。 1. 自然意义和非自然意义 格赖斯分析语言的意义从明辨自然意义(Natural meaning)和非自然意义(non natural meaning)开始。两者的 区别可用下例说明。 ①The number of concentric rings means that the tree lived so many years. ②Those three rings on the bell(of the bus)meant that the bus is full.
Assume that sentence (a) in each pair is synthetically true. Then look at sentence (b) and decide if you can assume that it is automatically true given the truth of (a). 1. (a) Annie is thin. (b) Annie is not fat. 2. (a) Annie baked a cake. (b) Annie baked something.
Similarly, given that you can easily answer “false” to (e) and (f). The meaning of mother and boy and tiger and reptile make such sentences necessarily false, or C O N T R A D I C T I O N S .

Scalar implicatures are a special type of generalized implicature where the inference is made by reference to a scale of values, one of which has been chosen by the speaker. The speaker’s choice implicates ‘not the higher values’.
If you were Jane, what implicatures would you have drawn from each of Steve’s responses?
a. Jane: Who used all the printer paper? Steve: I used some of it.
There is a gap between what is literally said and what is implied. So in this case, implicature helps to explain how some seemingly unrelated sentences come to mean the same.

Here are four dialogues where Annie has 'cancell' either a presupposition contained in her utterence(the cancellation come after the 'dash'). Do you notice a difference between presuppositions and implicatures when they are cancelled?
Generalized conversational implicature: The implicatures that they are so strong that they do not seem to require any extra knowledge to extract the meaning.

The notion of implicature provides some explicit account of how it is possible to mean more than what is actually “said” , or more than what is literally expressed.
Shared knowledge : Oliver oil is a possible ingredient in salad dressing and they only
use salad dressing made from olive oil.
c) Steve : What’s with your mother? Jane : Let’s go into the garden. (I can’t talk about it here.)
These responses are true in technically. However, from a pragmatic point of view, Steve’s utterances have certainly misled Jane because of the implicatures that people normally draw in these circumstances. Steve’s trickery involved what we call Scalar implicatures. All of Steve’s responses use words that participate in a scale of values:
Inferences which require this kind of shared knowledge between the speaker and the hearer are sometimes called particularized conversational implicatures.
b. Jane: I hear you’re always late with the rent. Steve: Well, sometimes I am.
Implicatures:
a. Steve did not use all of the printer paper, only some of it. b. Steve is not always late with the rent, only sometimes.
Implicature is a technical term in the pragmatics subfield of linguistics, coined by H.P.Grice, which refers to what is suggested in an utterance, even though neither expressed nor strictly implied by the utterance.
Scale of quantity: some most all Scale of frequency: sometimes often always Scale of coldness: cool cold freezing
We normally assume that, where speakers have a scale of values at their disposal, they will chose the one that is truthful and optimally informative. So we normally draw the implicature ‘not any of the higher values on the scale’.
Generalized implicatures can be drawn with very little ‘inside’ knowledge. If you heard a tape recording of the conversation but knew noting about the participants or the physical characteristics of the context, you could still draw those implicatures. They are closely connected to the degree of informativeness that we normally expect a speaker’s utterance to provide.
a) Tom : Are you going to Mark’s party tonight? Annie : My parents are in town. (No.)
Shared knowledge : Annie’s relation with her parents
b) Tom : Where’s the salad dressing? Gabriel : We’ve run out of olive oil. (There isn’t any salad dressing.)
