Abstract

The study aims to determine the types of implicatures and to identify the characteristics of each implicature speech acts as part of the BIPA pluricultural aspect in the context of Indonesian society communication. This research uses a qualitative approach supported by initial literature data and strengthened by data originating from 120 native Indonesian speakers as data sources and 15 BIPA graduates as data verifiers. The research results show that based on the speaker and the speech purpose, implicatures can be divided into four (4) types, namely: 1) Implicature to command, 2) Implicature to invite, 3) Implicature to accept, and 4) Implicature to reject. The characteristics of each type of implicature are described as follows. Implicatures for giving orders are used by speakers with higher social strata and function to soften orders. The implicature of offering an invitation or request is used by the speaker to attract the interest of the interlocutor to make the interlocutor voluntarily accept the burden of the invitation or request. The implicature of accepting an invitation or request is used by the speaker to ensure that the speaker is not forced to carry out his or her wishes or requests. The implicature of refusal is used by the speech partner to reject the speaker’s offer using mutually impossible conditions so that the speaker accepts the speaker’s gentle rejection gracefully.
