Frontiers in Psychology, 2018 Accounts based on the pragmatic maxim of quantity make different predictions about the computation of scalar versus ignorance inferences. These different predictions are evaluated in two eye-tracking experiments using a visual world paradigm to assess ...

Task Variation in Scalar Implicature Computation.
, 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 ...

The Developmental Trajectory of Scalar Implicatures [PDF]
, 2020 We often derive pragmatic inferences for a full comprehension of an utterance (e.g., metaphor, irony). Scalar implicatures, are a subtype of pragmatic inference that attribute an implicit meaning beyond the literal meaning of an utterance triggered by ...

Anticausatives are weak scalar expressions, not reflexive expressions
Glossa, 2016 We discuss conceptual and empirical arguments from Germanic, Romance and Slavic languages against an analysis treating anticausative verbs as derived from their lexical causative counterparts under reflexivization. Instead, we defend the standard account

Scope Assignments and Scalar Implicatures in Child English: The Role of Working Memory [PDF]
, 2021 Acquisition delays have been found for scope assignments and scalar implicatures (cf. Musolino 1998; Lidz 2016; Chierchia et al. 2001; Noveck 2001; Katsos & Bishop 2011).

Implicating without intentions
GlossaBuilding on Geurts (2019) programmatic proposal, this paper develops a commitment-based model of Scalar Implicatures (SIs) that shifts the explanatory focus from speaker intentions and mental states to the dynamics between private commitments and their ...

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

Implicit Theory of Mind (ToM) plays a key role in pragmatic reasoning of scalar implicatures
Acta PsychologicaObjective: This study assessed the effect of explicit and implicit Theory of Mind (ToM) on pragmatic reasoning, specifically scalar implicature interpretation, in adult participants.

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.
