Summary
This chapter discusses a special case of implicature that since Grice has been labelled conventional implicature and explains how it differs from both particularized and generalized conversational implicatures. The second purpose of this chapter is to show the analogies and differences between presuppositions and implicatures. It is argued that the two notions are clearly distinct because, unlike presuppositions, conventional implicatures cannot be backgrounded and cannot project.
