| Summary: | This study investigates conversational implicatures in the play Romeo
and Juliet by William Shakespeare by identifying and analyzing utterances
from conversations made by characters in the play. The study was done
within the scope of discourse analysis and pragmatics. Conversational
implicature (CI) was found out in the utterances in conversations made by
characters in the play. Then it was identified and analyzed to find out the
types of CI, the frequency of CI and effect of CI. Grice’s theory of CI is used
as the basic of analysis of the study. The utterances containing implicatures
fall into two categories: generalized and particularized CI. |
