Experimental Evidence for Embedded Scalar Implicatures [PDF]
Journal of Semantics, 2011 Scalar implicatures are traditionally viewed as pragmatic inferences which result from a reasoning about speakers’ communicative intentions (Grice 1989).

Cross-Linguistic Variation in the Meaning of Quantifiers: Implications for Pragmatic Enrichment
