The Dialogical Implicative Intent in the Novel (East of the Mediterranean) by Abdul Rahman Munif - A Semantic Pragmatic Study -

Abstract

Pragmatics in its various aspects has witnessed many studies by researchers, some of which are concerned with discourse analysis, and some of which are interested in clarifying the intentions in light of what the speaker says based on the inferential process, which seeks to reach the meaning through the context in which the speech event was accomplished. Conversational implication is one of the most important of these pragmatic aspects, which is concerned with studying discourse and seeks to reveal implicit connotations and analyze meaning in the context of its use. Conversational implication contributes to clarifying the intention of texts, and it also plays an important role in interpreting sentences according to different contexts and circumstances.There is no doubt that there are many factors and components that control the determination of meanings between the interlocutors, Such as customs, Beliefs, Shared knowledge, And so on, which enables the addressee to reach the implicit conversational meaning in what the speaker says.

    In addition, the concept of implication is not taken into account in communication except in cases where it is impossible to take the direct literal meaning, considering that the speaker is violating one of the rules of the principle of cooperation represented in the rule of quantity, Quality, Suitability, and Method. Then the benefit in the speech moves from its apparent to an implicit aspect.
