For next Tuesday 2/5, please read sections 2.2 and 2.3 (pgs. 62-73) of the following book chapter, which is still available from the “Readings” section of this website:

Birner, Betty. 2012. Introduction to Pragmatics, Chap. 2 (‘Gricean Implicature’). Malden, MA: Blackwell.

Note:  you should skip section 2.2.2 (pgs. 66-68) of the reading.  This particular subsection deals with a phenomenon known as conventional implicature, which is related to, but ultimately rather different from, conversational implicature.  We will not be concerned with conventional implicatures in this course.
