Abstract

This study investigates the role of implicature in shaping the interpretation and emotional impact of song lyrics, with a focus on Sara Bareilles’ "She Used to Be Mine" and "Brave". The objectives are threefold: (1) to examine how implicature contributes to lyrical meaning and emotional resonance, (2) to identify instances of implicature within the lyrics, and (3) to analyze the relationship between linguistic expression and thematic message. Adopting a qualitative research design and a content analysis approach, the study draws on two primary theoretical references: Analyzing Meaning: An Introduction to Semantics and Pragmatics (Textbooks in Language Sciences 5) for implicature characterization, and Grice’s Logic and Conversation as the principal framework for categorizing implicatures. The analysis identifies four types of implicature—Conventional Implicature (CI), Generalized Conversational Implicature (GCI), Particularized Conversational Implicature (PCI), and Scalar Implicature (SI)—present in both songs. Findings reveal that "She Used to Be Mine" predominantly employs Conventional Implicature (78%) and Scalar Implicature (60%), aligning with its introspective and reflective tone. In contrast, "Brave" relies more heavily on Generalized Conversational Implicature (56%) and Particularized Conversational Implicature (63%), reinforcing its motivational and empowering message. These results highlight the nuanced role of implicature in shaping both the interpretive depth and emotional impact of musical discourse.

Abstract

Although illocutionary speech acts have been extensively studied in everyday and institutional discourse, their application in cinematic narratives remains underexplored. Existing pragmatic research on film dialogue has primarily focused on genre conventions or general speech act patterns, leaving a gap in understanding how illocutionary force constructs character identity and emotional conflict in creative storytelling. This study investigates the illocutionary acts employed by Jonathan Larson, the protagonist in Tick, Tick… Boom!, a Netflix original musical that dramatizes the tension between personal ambition and existential anxiety. Drawing on Searle’s taxonomy, the research adopts a qualitative approach to analyze 76 representative utterances from the film script and scenes, identifying and categorizing illocutionary force. The results reveal four types of illocutionary acts: directives (42.5%), assertives (26.7%), expressives (22.3%), and commissives (6.6%), with directives as the most dominant. These findings suggest that Larson’s linguistic behavior is driven largely by attempts to influence, persuade, and seek validation from others. By situating speech act theory within cinematic pragmatics, this study contributes to a growing body of interdisciplinary research and offers insights for scholars examining language use in media narratives. Future research may consider integrating locutionary and perlocutionary dimensions for a fuller account.
