Implicature is a theoretical construct which was first introduced by Grice in the William James Lectures at Harvard in 1967 and was later published in 1975 under the title Logic and Conversation.

To distinguish the latter from the former‚ Grice (1975) uses the neologisms implicate and implicature‚ while he refers

CONVERSATIONAL IMPLICATURE INTRODUCTION During the time doing this assignment‚ I accidentally brought back a memory when I was a student. My roommate was a very charming girl‚ who made many boys’ hearts beat.

1.1 The concept of deictic centre Deixis deals with the words and expressions whose reference relies entirely on the circumstances of the utterance. For that reason these special expressions and their meaning in discourse can only be understood in light of these circumstances. The term deictic centre underlines that the deictic term has to relate to the situation exactly at the point where the utterance is made or the text is written. One could even say that the deictic centre is the unmarked

Grice claimed that there are two kinds of implicature‚ in other words the part of an utterance that is meant but not strictly said out loud: conventional implicature and conversational implicature (Thomas 1995:57). Since this paper treats comedy it will mainly focus on conversational implicature.

The cooperative principle‚ as stated in Grice’s “Logic and Conversation”
