Here's why:
* Implicature refers to the implied meaning of a statement, beyond its literal meaning. It's something that is suggested or hinted at but not directly stated.
* Explicitness, on the other hand, is about stating something directly, leaving no room for interpretation. There is no hidden meaning, and the intended message is clear and unambiguous.
Examples:
* Implicature: "It's getting cold in here." (Implication: Could someone please close the window?)
* Explicitness: "Please close the window, it's cold."
