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 Grices 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.

The analysis of implicature in Sara Bareilles songs “She Used to Be Mine and “Brave revealed notable use of Grices theory of implicature, including both conventional and conversational implicatures, within the lyrics of both songs.Quantitative analysis indicates that implicature and generalized conversational implicature are the most frequently occurring types, each appearing seven times out of a total of twenty instances.In contrast, particularized conversational implicature and scalar implicature are less prevalent.The differing patterns of implicature usage reflect the divergent communicative aims of the two works.“She Used to Be Mine centers on personal introspection and the emotional challenges of self-discovery, whereas “Brave prioritizes empowerment and proactive self-expression.

Berdasarkan analisis ini, beberapa saran penelitian lanjutan dapat diajukan. Pertama, penelitian selanjutnya dapat mengeksplorasi bagaimana penggunaan implicature bervariasi dalam genre musik yang berbeda, misalnya membandingkan penggunaan implicature dalam lagu pop dengan lagu jazz atau blues. Hal ini dapat memberikan wawasan tentang bagaimana konteks budaya dan artistik memengaruhi pilihan linguistik. Kedua, penelitian dapat menyelidiki bagaimana pendengar dari berbagai latar belakang budaya menafsirkan implicature dalam lagu-lagu tersebut. Perbedaan interpretasi dapat mencerminkan perbedaan norma-norma pragmatik dan ekspektasi komunikasi antar budaya. Ketiga, penelitian dapat menginvestigasi bagaimana penggunaan implicature dalam lirik lagu memengaruhi respons emosional pendengar. Dengan menggunakan metode seperti pengukuran fisiologis atau analisis ekspresi wajah, peneliti dapat mengidentifikasi hubungan antara jenis implicature tertentu dan emosi yang dirasakan.
