Processing scalar implicature: What can individual differences tell us? [PDF]
, 2010 There is much current debate about processing scalar implicature, but a considerable body of empirical evidence seems to support the idea that it requires additional time and effort on the part of the hearer (e.g.

Scalar implicature rates vary within and across adjectival scales [PDF]
Recent experimental literature has investigated across-scale variation in scalar implicature calculation: lexical scales significantly differ from each other in how likely they are to be strengthened (e.g., old → not ancient vs.

On the Non-Unified Nature of Scalar Implicature: An Empirical Investigation
, 2009 Scalar implicaure is often offered as the exemplar of generalized conversational implicature. However, despite the wealth of literature devoted to both the phenomenon in general and to specific examples, little attention has been paid to the various ...

When some is not every: Dissociating scalar implicature generation and mismatch
, 2013 : Making inferences beyond the literal meaning of sentences occurs with certain scalar expressions via scalar implicatures. For example, adults usually interpret some as some but not all.

Probing the probe: why inference tasks may inflate response rates for Scalar Implicature
Scalar implicature is widely understood to result from a process of strengthening by exclusion of an alternative. As much previous research demonstrates, this process appears to be optional for language users. In this paper, we focus on the fact that, in
