Short description of the topic
An implicature is anything that is inferred from an utterance but that is not a condition for the truth of the utterance. There are different types of implicatures. Below you find a brief overview:
Potential implicature. A potential implicature is an implicature that would arise from any of the components of a given utterance if that component were uttered in some linguistic or extralinguistic context.
Actual implicature. An actual implicature is any potential implicature that is not canceled by its context.
