JL: "The implicature: Women ents strength."
I respectfully disagree. There's no implicature whatever to the statement
"Men ents weakness.". If I say, "He's a pillar of the community. What's
the implicature? The only possible one I can imagine is that some men
aren't pillars of the community, that's both ent and implicature, I think..
Me Tarzan, me speak straight, no implicature, no entailment. Word is what
word means. Only that. Lion is lion. Tazan not lying, Tarzan be truth.
