Abstract
This paper is, in part, an attempt to "respecify" the study of implicature as an ethnomethodological and conversation analytic undertaking. To the linguistic pragmzrtists, I am proposing a methodological reorientation. To the ethnomethodologists and conversation analysts, I am proposing a broadening of interests ancl an open-minded appreciation of what linguistic pragmatics has to offer. To both, I am suggesting an increased sensitivity to the subtleties of cultural context.a There remains, of course, the question of whether Grice's particular proposals are useful or accurate. In what tollows, I will have occasion to offer some evaluation of the Gricean approach, but I will be primarily concerned with presenting a form of nonGricean implicature. The approach that I propose grounds implicature in specific conversational procedures and cultural understandings, and produces, I believe, clearer and more constrained outcomes than Gricean procedures.
