Conversational Implication

摘要:The term conversational implication was introduced by the philosopher H. Paul Gricewhich is deduced on the basis of conventional meaning of words together with the context under the guidance of the CP and its maxim. While CI reflects the intention of the speakers so the speakers psychological motives diction tone and the structure they adopt must give more space to the hearers to interpret however whether CI can have great effect on the hearer or not it will depend on the basic knowledge that the speaker and hearer share and the certain context. In literature the authors pay more attention to the CI and their works became and will become the wealth of the world.

CI conversational implication includes the natural meaning and the extra meaning in the certain context which is comparable to the illocutionary force in the speech act. The realization of CI has a close relation with the context. CI should have conversational activities any conversational activities consist of both speakers and hearers. As for it Jacobins showed us the relation between them.

For example the speaker says “Today is Sunday” this sentence will have different meanings in the different context. If the hearer says “NO its Saturday” then we will know the real meaning of the conversation is the statement of date obviously the speaker is wrong if the speaker is a child and his father promised that he would drive his son to the zoo on Sunday when his father heard his sons words he will know the implied meaning immediately if the speaker is a poor student and there will be an exam on Sunday we will make clear the emotion of the speaker. So the context is the necessary element of CI which gives the hearer different understanding to the same conversation.



The realization of the CI is under the guidance of the CP and its maxim. If the speaker wants to express his extra meaning sometimes he will violate the principles as long as the hearer knows the reason why the speaker violates these principles he will get the implied meaning beneath the natural meaning.



A Where is X

B Hes gone to the library. He said so when he left.

These sentences are not relevant which violate the principle of relevance
