O implikaturze konwersacyjnej w ujęciu interlingwalnym

According to Taguchi and Roever (2017), understanding implicatures is an important part of foreign language learners’ pragmatic competence, and as such should be included in the classroom practice. The question how it should be taught arises – especially since the current research (see: Rose and Kasper 2001) within the field of interlanguage pragmatics suggests that there are multiple factors which influence the comprehension of implicatures in a foreign language, one of them being the exposure to accurate pragmatic models in authentic communication. Yet the textbooks are found to include a rather insufficient number of proper pragmatic samples, especially implicatures. In this paper I analyze the place the implicature takes within the field of interlanguage pragmatics and present a short overview of current research. Eventually, I argue the importance of implicature in the process of foreign language teaching and learning, using Dutch as an example.
