Pragmatic inference of scalar implicature by LLMs
Proceedings of the 62nd Annual Meeting of the Association for Computational Linguistics (Volume 4: Student Research Workshop)This study investigates how Large Language Models (LLMs), particularly BERT (Devlin et al., 2019) and GPT-2 (Radford et al., 2019), engage in pragmatic inference of scalar implicature, such as some. Two sets of experiments were conducted using cosine similarity and next sentence/token prediction as experimental methods.

Task Variation in Scalar Implicature Computation. [PDF]
, 2023 Experimental research on the processing and acquisition of Scalar Implicatures (SIs) relies on behavioral tasks that purport to measure the rate at which SIs are computed. Two paradigms, the Truth Value Judgment Task (TVJT) and the Picture Selection Task (PST) have dominated the experimental pragmatics literature; however, it is still unclear how the ...

Probing incremental commitment to scalar implicature
, 2023 We plan to conduct a reading study in the Maze on the nature of incremental commitment to scalar implicature in sentence n, by probing for reanalysis effects during the reading of a sentence n+1 which contradicts the implicature, in a loose replication ...

Cross-Linguistic Variation in the Meaning of Quantifiers: Implications for Pragmatic Enrichment
Frontiers in Psychology, 2019 One of the most studied scales in the literature on scalar implicatures is the quantifier scale. While the truth of some is entailed by the truth of all, some is felicitous only when all is false.
