Although the term implicitness is ubiquitous in the pragmatic
scholarship, it has rarely constituted the focus of attention per
se. This book aims to help crystallize the concept of implicitness
by defining its linguistic boundaries, as well as specifying and
exploring its different communicative manifestations. The
contributions by leading specialists scrutinize the main
conceptualizations, forms and occurrences of implicitness (such as
implicature, impliciture, explicature, entailment, presupposition,
etc.) at different levels of linguistic organization. The volume
focuses on phrasal, sentential, and discursive phenomena,
showcasing the richness and variety of implicit forms of
communication, systematizing (where possible) the existing analytic
perspectives, and identifying the most productive procedures for
further exploration. Taken together, the chapters exhibit
theoretical differences that hinder a consensus on the nature of
implicitness, but they simultaneously reveal methodological points
of contact and raise common questions, thereby signposting a future
analytic agenda. The book will appeal to both theoretically and
empirically minded scholars working within and across the
disciplines of Pragmatics, Semantics, Language Philosophy,
Discourse Analysis, and Communication Studies.
