raise the pragmatic awareness, in order that the students not only understand
theoretical points of view, but also can apply their knowledge of explicature

as the additional reference to analyze the explicature which are used in written
texts. It is also suggested to conduct similar studies, which involve more complete
data in searching other areas that relevant with explicature theory, especially Dan
Sperber and Deidre Wilson’s relevance theory of explicature.
