Abstract: In this article we are going to delve into the concept of implicature as well as discussing it’s importance in written and spoken language. The paper highlights how implicature helps speakers convey meanings beyond the literal statements and how by being able to reflect on the implications we can improve interpersonal communication. Along with the spoken language we are going to provide examples from literature such as George Orwell’s «Animal Farm» and Jane Austen’s «Pride and Prejudice». And explain how grasping deeper meanings behind characters’ dialogues or actions might improve our comprehension of the book.
