Abstract

The purpose of this study is to find forms of implicature and examine the meaning of utterances in conversations in the fifth semester of IAIN Curup's English Department during English Zone activities. This research in pragmatics focuses on implicature, or implicit meaning that depends on context. This research uses a qualitative approach with a descriptive method, collecting data from the conversations of fifth semester students during the English Zone activities, which were obtained for three weeks with six data collection times, and analyzing them using George Yule's theory of implicature. From the conversations, 92 data were obtained which were then classified into several types of implicature. As a result, there are five types of implicature used in student conversations, namely Conventional Implicature 1 data, Conversational Implicature 1 data, Generalized Conversational Implicature 12 data, Scalar Conversational Implicature 6 data, and Particularized Conversational Implicature 72 data. And it is also found that in student conversations there are also some hidden meanings that are not conveyed directly in the form of prohibitions, invitations, suggestions and motivations to fellow peers. To illustrate these assumptions, this study analyzed voice recordings of conversations of fifth semester students of English Department of IAIN Curup. In this study, Particularized Conversational Implicature is more dominant because the ability to understand language and linguistic understanding is still limited, resulting in all conversations spoken specifically, and tend to use language that is commonly known (without implied meaning that requires further understanding) so that there is no misunderstanding between speakers and interlocutors.
