Abstract | ||||
This paper is extracted from my MA thesis entitled ‘Conversational Implicature in English and Cairene Arabic: A study in Contrastive Linguistics’ (2007). It explores Conversational Implicature which is of great importance as it restores understanding and helps interlocutors communicate successfully. The aim of this study is to explore Conversational Implicature in Arabic, and in English by Cairene speakers. In addition, the study tries to test whether variables as age, sex and exposure to English have influence on the use of conversational implicature or not. This article summarizes the findings of the present thesis. In addition, it gives recommendations for further research. | ||||
