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.

Sources of cognitive cost in scalar implicature processing: A review
Frontiers in Communication, 2022 Research in Experimental Pragmatics has shown that deriving scalar implicatures involves effort and processing costs. This finding was robust and replicated across a wide variety of testing techniques, logical terms, populations, and languages.

Upper-Bounded Scalars and Argumentation-in-Language Theory
Anglophonia, 2019 Scalar implicatures, such as the ‘not all’-implicature attached to “some”, have been at the center of debates on the semantics-pragmatics interface ever since Horn (1972).

Semantics and Pragmatics, 2015 A prevalent, but to date untested, assumption about lexicalized scalar implicatures such as those from some to not all, is that they fall into the class of GCIs and as such, constitute a homogeneous class of highly regularized and context-independent ...

Collective-Distributive Interpretations in Bilingual Spanish-English-Speaking Children
Isogloss, 2022 Developmental semantic research in child Italian, Spanish, and English has shown that children’s knowledge of distributive interpretations does not appear adult-like until 10 or 11 years of age.

Knowledgeability, Contextual Numerals and Scalar Implicature
, 2021 "Some of the books were interesting." is typically interpreted to mean that a non-zero number of books was interesting but NOT ALL of the books were interesting, because the speaker would have said "all" if they were all interesting.

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.

Embedded implicatures observed: a comment on Geurts and Pouscoulous (2009)
Semantics and Pragmatics, 2010 Conventionalist theories of scalar implicature differ from other accounts in that they predict strengthening of embedded scalar terms. Geurts and Pouscoulous (2009) argue that experimental support for this prediction is largely based on sentence ...
