The value hybridist can use the putative features of conventional-implicature bearing sentences to fashion a theory of value-sentences. Call this approach the conventional implicature theory, or IT.1 For IT, value-sentences are dual-content sentences, just like (1) is. In producing a value-utterance, like O is good, the speaker U says that O has F, for some natural property F, and conventionally implicates approval of F-things—or instantiation of F, etc. So the dual-content form of such sentences is:
