Abstract

Implicature in explanatory contexts pertinent to English and Uzbek popular science magazines is examined in this theoretical comparative article. Author-constructed examples are analyzed by means of semantic comparison and contextual variation and cancelation tests. The discussion distinguishes between implicature and explicit content, presupposition and entailment. It examines cautious interpretation, indirect evaluation and reader participation. It argues that translation can keep a proposition but change the inference expected of the reader. Making an implicit conclusion explicit can also increase the apparent commitment of the author. The proposed procedure thus takes into account linguistic evidence, contextual assumptions and alternative readings jointly. They do not report any corpus frequencies or measured reader effects.
