Abstract
Abstract. This article focuses on euphemistic implicatures in the English and Ukrainian languages inferred from the logical and pragmatic aspects. The general scientific methods, pragmatic analysis, methods of formal logics and model creating are used in order to infer euphemistic implicatures. A logical and pragmatic model is chosen as tertium comparationis of the research. The logical structure of euphemistic implicatures in English and Ukrainian can be modeled in a manner that is isomorphic for the two contrasted languages under analysis. A new logical and pragmatic algorithm designed for inferring euphemistic implicature has been elaborated. The logical operations of implication and conjunction have been applied to infer implicatures from euphemisms in the English and Ukrainian languages.
