The development of simile comprehension: From comparison to scalar implicature.
, 2020 Preschool children were tested on a new type of scalar implicature: saying ‘Betty is like a nurse’, normally implies that Betty is not a nurse. Experiment 1 used a guessing game with children 3, 4, 5, 6 and 13 years (N=99), who were given metaphors ...

Scalar implicature rates vary within and across adjectival scales
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.

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.

Processing scalar implicature: What can individual differences tell us?
, 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 IN FACEBOOK
LINGUISTIK TERAPANThis research explores the phenomenon of scalar implicature in Facebook status updates, using Yule's systems theory to dissect the implied meanings conveyed through scalar expressions. The research reveals that scalar implicature significantly influences communication on Facebook, providing more insight into the construction of implicatures. Noteworthy

Do Scalar Implicatures Prime? The Case of Exclusive 'or'.
, 2021 Understanding language requires comprehenders to understand not only what speakers say, but what speakers might imply. Scalar items (e.g. some, numerals) often invite comprehenders to compute scalar implicatures, pragmatically strengthening the semantic meaning of scalar items by negating their stronger alternatives.

Scalar implicature in online experiments - a follow-up
This study replicates the results of an in-person testing of adult participants on a scalar implicature task. Our aim is to match this in-person task to a previous online version of the study that we conducted (https://osf.io/35xvu/)

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
