According to Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy (2019), implicature can be defined as the act of implying meaning by saying something else. The aim of using implicature is to mislead a response without lying while also maintaining a good social interaction. Implicature is very much related to the culture of the language. Most Indonesian EFL learners are still having issues in comprehending English implicature due to the lack of cross-cultural understanding of the target language. Hence, this study was done to identify Indonesian EFL learners' capability in comprehending and producing implicature, one of pragmatics subfields. The method used in this study is descriptive qualitative research, using survey method for data collection.

The type of implicature they used was conversational implicature, one of the principal subjects of pragmatics. As for the minority of the students who were having issues in understanding implicature, the reason being their lack of comprehension in the material implicature. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
