What is the opposite of implicature in linguistics?

The opposite of implicature in linguistics is explicitness.

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."
