that departs from Grice in some ways and has spawned a new approach to
implicative relations; see below.
Grice mentions that one can also generate an implicature by flouting a
conversational maxim, that is, by violating it blatantly. My favorite Gricean
example (paraphrased from pp. 556):
(5) Ms X produced a series of sounds that corresponded quite closely to
the score of Handel's "I Know That My Redeemer Liveth." [Said by
a concert reviewer.]
Why has the reviewer dribbled out all this prolix stuff, instead of saying
simply that Ms X sang "I Know That My Redeemer Liveth"? "Presumably,
to emphasize a striking difference between [Ms] X's performance and those
to which the word `singing' is usually applied." A more common type of
Implicative relations 161
example is when the speaker's sentence is too obviously false; Grice cites
sarcasm there.
