2.2.4 Development of Reference assignment/conceptual constituent
Reference assignment is most description refers to different
referents (persons, objects, notions) on each occasion when they are used.
The fuction of picking out an object in the world with matches a linguistic
description is called referring. 23 This step is conducted by looking for
presupposition, inference, and implied meaning from the utterance. For
example; “this room is for Murobbiyah who is the head of counselor of
Mabna Khadijah Al-kubra”.
In summary, by the explicature theory, utterances can be interpreted
explicitly, because the utterance should be clear and avoid ambiguity. Explicature
theory is used to interpret the utterance that is usually produced in communication
by the process of specifying the vague terms, disambiguation, conceptual
constituent and enrichment to get the truth condition.
In discussing the explicature is inseparable with the implicature. To
enlarge our knowledge about the implicature as the starting point or as the departs
of relevance theory; 24 it’s also important for us to give an attention in implicature.
