| It seems to me that virtually all jokes are based on implicature, too. |
| One piece of evidence supporting the implicature hypothesis is that the exclusive interpretation seems cancelable. |
| This is all implicature, and the shared understanding of the potential communication example means you should avoid situations which could annoy people. |
| Accordingly in this entry we will consider the relations among speech acts and: semantic content, grammatical mood, speaker-meaning, logically perfect languages, perlocutions, performatives, presuppositions, and implicature. |
