The findings of the research show that there are four major types of implicature
found in the talk show. They are assertives, directives, commissives and
expressives. Each of them consists of more concrete types of implicature or
speech act. Assertive type found in the talk show consists of asserting, stating and
claiming implicature. Directive type comprises of questioning and requesting
implicature. Commissive type consists of offering and refusing implicature.
Expressive type is manifested in the form of praising implicature.
The study concludes that stating assertive implicatures is the type of implicature
that is found the most in the talk. It is due to its nature in the conversation which
functions as the manifestation of the exchange of information. Next, the study also
unfolds that all utterances that contain implicature that are found in the talk show
fulfill the two criteria to be categorized for being effective in the usage in the
conversation. First, they serve the purpose of the use of the implicature. Secnd,
