There are at least two reasons for the paper’s success: (i) it can be regarded as the first truly serious attempt to clarify the intuitive difference between what is expressed literally in a sentence and what is merely suggested by an utterance of the same string of words, (ii) the components of the notional and inferential framework that Grice set up to characterize various kinds of utterance content are intuitively appealing (cf. Haberland & Mey 2002). The present paper has two related aims: (i) to give a comprehensive overview of Grice’s theory of implicature, and (ii) to investigate whether it is possible to test the presence of a conversational implicature on the basis of some or all of the properties that Grice attributes to this construct. It will be argued th...

Although by the end of The Mysteries of Udolpho the heroine, Emily learns that there are no ghosts or unexplainable mysteries in her world, the novel is still an important part of the Gothic tradition. In my presentation I will analyze the characters' views on the supernatural and the afterlife, how they perceive reality as supernatural, the effects these beliefs have on the events, and how these aspects are presented to the reader in The Mysteries of Udolpho.

This is a direct consequence of the fact that we only find nonfinite infinitives in Slavic languages and in most Germanic and Romance languages. However, in languages as diverse as Hungarian, Portuguese and Welsh, for example, there are both nonfinite infinitives and conjugated infinitives, i.e. infinitives that are inflected for number and person [1]. The two types of Hungarian infinitive are exemplified in Table 1.
