Logical interpretation of omission in implicature

Implicatures allow us to make inferences from what is said, and can be conversational or conventional, both of linguistic nature. We can also make inferences from the omission, when presented as intentional silence in a conversation. Without silence and voice, effective communication is impossible b...

Sumario:Implicatures allow us to make inferences from what is said, and can be conversational or conventional, both of linguistic nature. We can also make inferences from the omission, when presented as intentional silence in a conversation. Without silence and voice, effective communication is impossible because nobody would be listening. Here, we propose to formulate the logical interpretation of intentional silence as implicature in conversations and testimonies, to make informed decisions, using knowledge representation, and defining a semantics, developing models and implementing them. The area of conversational implicatures can directly benefit from these economies to scale up the phenomena that can be implemented inside a real-time dialogue system, with mutual information and intelligent interactions. The results of this work could have an impact on the disciplines related to artificial intelligence such as man-machine interface, natural language processing, communication between agents, intelligent systems, games theory, applications for mobile phones and social networks, among others.
