Implicature

In Implicature, author Wayne A. Davis presents a thought-provoking critique of H. P. Grice's influential theory of implicature, which has long been a cornerstone in the field of pragmatics. Published by Cambridge University Press in 2007, this 216-page paperback challenges the effectiveness of Gricean theory, sparking crucial discussions in the realms of philosophy, linguistics, and sociolinguistics. Davis meticulously examines the limitations of Grice's framework, making a compelling case for re-evaluating established doctrines in the philosophy of language. This book is essential reading for scholars and students interested in the intersections of language, logic, and pragmatism.
