Akt informacyjny w świetle reguł konwersacyjnych H.P. Grice’a (rosyjskie komunikaty prasowe oraz ich przedruki w „Tygodniku Forum" w latach 2009–2011)

Abstract

This paper is an attempt to apply H.P. Grice’s theory of implicature. It draws attention to what the speaker (author of press releases) says and what the speaker thereby implicates. Implicatures can be part of sentence meaning or dependent on conversational context. From 140 of Tygodnik Forum, that were collected in 2009–2011, 20 press releases were selected and analyzed. The aim of the analysis is to show the effects of certain elements of the information act, the intention of the sender of the message and recipient’s ability to understand it.
