What is "implicature"?
Implicature refers to the implied meaning or suggestion that is not explicitly stated in a conversation but is understood by the participants based on context and shared knowledge. It relies on the listener's ability to infer the speaker's intention beyond the literal words spoken. For example, if someone says "It is getting cold in here," the implicature might be a request to close a window or turn up the heat, even though those actions are not directly mentioned. Understanding implicature is essential for effective communication, as it helps convey subtle meanings and social cues in dialogue.
