conventional implicature

Conventional implicature is a type of implied meaning in language that is tied to specific words or constructions and typically persists regardless of the context. It provides additional information or assumptions without changing the core message. For example, in the sentence "She did it willingly," the word "willingly" implies that she was not forced, but this implication isn't part of the primary statement; it's an added nuance. These implicatures are "conventional" because they are associated with particular words or phrases and are generally understood by speakers of the language.
