    Accommodation → Implicature

    Meaning of the relation type
    Beide Begriffe gehören demselben fachlichen Kontinent an. (Original source wording; no separate translation recorded)
    Why connected?
    English editorial text
    Both accommodation and implicature involve inference. Accommodation adjusts the background assumptions needed to interpret an utterance. Implicature is what the hearer can infer the speaker is conveying beyond what was explicitly said.

    Meaning of the relation type
    Beide Begriffe gehören demselben fachlichen Kontinent an. (Original source wording; no separate translation recorded)
    Why connected?
    English editorial text
    Hearers draw on assumptions about shared knowledge when they infer an implicature. Common ground is one resource for that inference. Each hearer may also draw conclusions of their own.

    Discourse particle → Implicature

    Meaning of the relation type
    Beide Begriffe gehören demselben fachlichen Kontinent an. (Original source wording; no separate translation recorded)
    Why connected?
    English editorial text
    Discourse particles can guide listeners towards a particular interpretation. A conversational implicature is something listeners infer beyond what is said. In analysing a particle, separate what it conventionally contributes from what listeners infer on that occasion.

    Meaning of the relation type
    Die Verbindung überschreitet einen fachlichen Kontinent. (Original source wording; no separate translation recorded)
    Why connected?
    English editorial text
    In ellipsis, participants reconstruct omitted structure or content. An implicature is an additional message inferred from context. The two call for different kinds of inference.

    Meaning of the relation type
    Die Verbindung überschreitet einen fachlichen Kontinent. (Original source wording; no separate translation recorded)
    Why connected?
    English editorial text
    An enthymeme invites the audience to supply part of an argument. An implicature invites the hearer to infer a contextual message. Both involve inference, though they differ in what is inferred and how it is warranted.

    Beide Begriffe gehören demselben fachlichen Kontinent an. (Original source wording; no separate translation recorded)
    Why connected?
    English editorial text
    Conversational maxims offer a model of how participants infer implicatures in context. They describe expectations about cooperation and explain some inferences better than others.

    Why connected?
    English editorial text
    An indirect or softened formulation can convey politeness through an inferred message. Implicature offers one explanation, alongside conventional ways of expressing politeness.

    Meaning of the relation type
    Ein Atlasprofil grenzt den Zielbegriff ausdrücklich ab. (Original source wording; no separate translation recorded)
    Why connected?
    English editorial text
    Implicatures are additional messages inferred in context. Presuppositions are treated as background assumptions. Projection, cancellability and linguistic triggers help distinguish them when both remain implicit.

    Why connected?
    English editorial text
    A speech act can convey additional messages beyond what it explicitly says. Implicature explains how those messages are inferred in context. That inference is distinct from identifying the action performed by the utterance.

    Meaning of the relation type
    Die Verbindung überschreitet einen fachlichen Kontinent. (Original source wording; no separate translation recorded)
    Why connected?
    English editorial text
    Irony often invites the hearer to infer a stance beyond the literal content. Implicature is one way to analyse this inference. Other accounts may explain other kinds of irony.

    Meaning of the relation type
    Die Verbindung überschreitet einen fachlichen Kontinent. (Original source wording; no separate translation recorded)
    Why connected?
    English editorial text
    Gaps in a text can prompt readers to draw inferences. Implicatures are messages inferred in language use. The comparison distinguishes literary interpretation from the more specific conditions for pragmatic inference.

    Meaning of the relation type
    Ein Atlasprofil grenzt den Zielbegriff ausdrücklich ab. (Original source wording; no separate translation recorded)
    Why connected?
    English editorial text
    A presupposition treats information as already given. An implicature conveys additional meaning that can be inferred from use. Both can be left unstated while playing different roles in interpretation.

    Participants can infer a message from silence, for example after a question. Whether implicature explains it depends on the circumstances.
