摘要
The aim of this essay is threefold. In the first place, I shall discuss the transition from classical to neo-Gricean pragmatic theory of conversational implicature. Secondly, I shall present a neo-Gricean pragmatic theory of conversational implicature, focusing on the bipartite system developed by Laurence Horn and the tripartite system advanced by Stephen Levinson. Thirdly and finally, I shall point to a number of directions in which the neo-Gricean pragmatic theory may be developed in the future, including the debate on what is said versus what is conversationally implicated, the interdigitation between neo-Gricean pragmatic principles and bidirectional Optimality theory, the revised neo-Gricean pragmatic theory of anaphora, and the neo-Gricean psycho-pragmatic experimental work.
