Abstract:
The aim of the research is to examine Grice’s theory of implicature in order
to gain a better understanding of how language is used to express meaning in
conversation.
The objectives of the research are:
− to explore the philosophical basis of the theory and its influence on
linguistics;
− to identify the core elements of the theory, including the cooperative
principle and four categories of conversational maxims;
− to analyze two subtypes of implicature.
