The Conversational implicatures in two episodes of Desperate Housewifes - Digital Collection of Petra Christian University

The understanding of implicatures is essential in the daily conversation.
Because of its importance, Implicatures must be understood if someone wants to
achieve a successful communication. Therefore, the writer is interested in
revealing the implied meaning of the Implicatures. In the analysis, she uses
Grice?s (1975) theory of Implicatures, Halliday and Hasan?s (1985) theory of
Context of Situation, and the concept of Truth-Value. As the data, Desperate
Housewives, Episode 15: Impossible and 16: The Lady Who Lunch provide
many examples of the use of Implicatures in the daily life conversation. To
analyze the data, first, she finds the utterance with Implicatures using the theory of
Implicatures. Then, she finds the context of situation from those utterances.
Third, finding the implied meaning of utterances with Implicatures using the
concept of truth value as the fact. Finally, she categorizes the implied meaning
based on the purpose of the conversation. As a result, the writer found that
utterance with implicatures, in which the purpose is saving hearer?s face, is often
used by the speaker.
