 Conversational Impliciture
It is generally recognized that linguistic meaning underdetermines speaker meaning because of the need for disambiguation and reference assignment and because people can speak figuratively or indirectly.
It gained modest recognition in the late seventies and eighties under such labels as semantic generality (Atlas, 1977) and nonspecificity (Bach, 1982) and is more widely known these days as semantic underdetermination.
