If the speaker is assumed to be observing the maxim, then the addressee makes a standard implicature. If the speaker is assumed to be flouting the maxim, then the addressee makes a more nonstandard type of implicature. Examples (English)
- The sentence John has two Ph.D.'s implicates both of the following:
"I have adequate evidence that John has two Ph.D.'s."
It may also cause an implicature derived from the addressee’s belief that the speaker is flouting the maxim quality.
- In the following exchange, the obvious falsehood of B’s utterance implicates that B is saying that A is wildly incorrect:
B: And London’s in Armenia, I suppose.
