Explicit-implicit Distinction: A Review of Related Literature

Abstract: This paper sketches out the main views of the major pragmatic approaches (i.e., Grice's theory of conversation, Relevance Theory, and Neo-Gricean pragmatic theory) on explicit-implicit distinction. It makes clear how this distinction has been differently drawn for utterance interpretation. Additionally, it highlights several corresponding problems that have arisen within such approaches. It demonstrates ultimately that no consensus has been reached on the dividing lines of the dichotomy of this distinction.

“…Implicit NP Relations Next, we analyze the composition of the relations in the dataset, as to whether these relations are implicit or explicit. While there is no accepted definition of explicit-implicit distinction in the literature (Carston, 2009;Jarrah, 2016), here we adapt a definition originally used by Cheng and Erk (2019) for another phenomenon, implicit arguments: 14 In an implicit relation the anchor and the complement are not syntactically connected to each other and might not even appear in the same sentence. This implies, for example, that any inter-sentential relations are implicit 15 , while relations within one sentence can be either implicit or explicit.…”
