What are conversational implicature?
It is observed that there is more meaning than is said if the maxims are violated by the speaker. This kind of implicit, non-conventional meaning is called conversational implicature.
e.g. A: Do you reckon Sally will that sugar daddy?
B: Do you want another cup of coffee?
B’s response violates the maxim of relevance. The implicature is that the hearer doesn’t want to gossip about Sally’s love affair. These example shows that implicature is kind of speaker meaning. It has to be worked out by the hearer through inference.
