Recent studies such as Eckert (2019) have called for greater cooperation between sociolinguists and those working in semantics and pragmatics in exploration of linguistic meaning. This present study considers three Labovian (1972) social markers—ain't, (ING) and negative concord—and finds that elements of these markers pattern as semantic but non-truth conditional Grice (1975) conventional implicatures. The study goes on to show that this conventional implicature meaning can be leaned upon further to convey non-semantic conversational implicatures, which speaks to the well-known malleability of social meaning across contexts.

社会标志和意义维度

最近的研究，如 Eckert (2019) 呼吁社会语言学家与语义学和语用学研究人员在探索语言意义方面加强合作。本研究考虑了三个 Labovian (1972) 社会标记 - ain't、 (ING) 和否定协和 - 并发现这些标记的元素模式为语义但非真实的条件 Grice (1975) 常规含义。该研究继续表明，可以进一步依靠这种传统的暗示意义来传达非语义的对话暗示，这说明了众所周知的社会意义在不同语境中的延展性。
