Abstract


This study aims to analyze the pragmatics-linguistics of Implicature Conversational and to identify the types as well as the characteristics of Implicature Conversational produced by the characters mentioned in the play script "Find Yourself a Nice Girl." The data used is specifically focuses on the speech of the characters in the children's book "The Kindness of the Frog." The method used in this research is descriptive-qualitative, with the text that covered the dialogues of the characters mentioned in the play script serving as the subject of analysis. The research adopts Grice's (1975) theory of conversational implicature, which is classified into generalized conversational implicature and particularized conversational implicature, as the framework for this study in analyzing the data. Based on the research findings, it was discovered that the two types of conversational implicatures appeared in the text of the children's book. Moreover, this findings indicate that the character's most dominant type of implicature refers to the generalized conversational implicature.
