Imply What is implied by a person in discussion or argument is what that author intends others to conclude from what he or she has said or suggested, without these claim(s) or point(s) having to be stated directly.
What is implied by a proposition is what a reasonable person may conclude simply on the assumption that the proposition is true. (see also: innuendo, dilemma, irony, sarcasm, metaphor, definition, language, implication, allegory, simile) Labels:
