Psycholinguistic and neurolinguistic investigations of scalar implicature [PDF]
, 2013 The present study examines the representation and composition of meaning in scalar implicatures. Scalar implicature is the phenomenon whereby the use of a less informative term (e.g., some) is inferred to mean the negation of a more informative term (e.g.

EFL Learners' Pragmatic Tolerance of Quantity Maxim Violation
مجلة النور للدراسات الانسانيةThe current study embarks on investigating Iraqi EFL learners' pragmatic tolerance of quantity maxim violations. Additionally, it seeks to shed light on Iraqi EFL learners' pragmatic abilities in deriving pragmatic inferences from utterances that contain

Anticausatives are weak scalar expressions, not reflexive expressions
Glossa, 2016 We discuss conceptual and empirical arguments from Germanic, Romance and Slavic languages against an analysis treating anticausative verbs as derived from their lexical causative counterparts under reflexivization. Instead, we defend the standard account

Experimental Paradigms on Scalar Implicature Estimation
Experimental research on the processing of Scalar Implicatures (SIs) relies on behavioral tasks that purport to measure the rate at which scalar implicatures are computed within an experimental paradigm. Two paradigms, the Truth Value Judgment Task (TVJT)

Glossa, 2018 This paper reports on five experiments investigating intervention effects in negative polarity item (NPI) licensing. Such intervention effects involve the unexpected ungrammaticality of sentences that contain an intervener, such as a universal quantifier,

Development of Quantitative and Temporal Scalar Implicatures in a Felicity Judgment Task
Frontiers in Psychology, 2019 Experimental investigations into children’s interpretation of scalar terms show that children have difficulties with scalar implicatures in tasks. In contrast with adults, they are for instance not able to derive the pragmatic interpretation that “some ...

Experimental Investigations into how Children and Adults Process the Implicature Associated with the Scalar Term Some [PDF]
, 2009 A scalar implicature is the use of a weak term from a scale to implicate that a stronger term in the scale is not the intended meaning. For example, some is often interpreted as meaning some but not all, whereas logically its meaning is at least one.
