                               Resumen:

    Implicatures in Discourse examines Spanish conversations and oral
narratives in order to seek support for a pragmatic theory of anaphora.

    Blackwell argues that the use of anaphoric expressions may be
considered conversational implicatures that give rise to inferences of
coreference and non-coreference. Her analysis shows how speakers abide
by Levinson's 'neo-Gricean' principles of Quantity, Informativeness, and
Manner, but that grammatical, semantic, cognitive, and pragmatic
constraints interact with the neo-Gricean principles, influencing
anaphora use and interpretation.

    The study also reveals how mutual knowledge, including familiarity
with Spanish social and cultural norms, enables interlocutors to use and
comprehend minimal referring expressions, which cultural outsiders may
not be able to interpret. While drawing on earlier work on anaphora and
reference, this book offers a fresh look at discourse anaphora, and
sheds light on the ways in which speakers felicitously use and interpret
anaphoric expressions in a variety of communicative contexts.
