Language and CognitionScalar words such as warm may give rise to inferences such as warm but not hot. Under standard accounts, such scalar implicatures are derived by negating stronger alternatives.

Scalar Implicatures: a Gricean vs. a Relevance Theory Approach [PDF]
, 2017 Griceans have always supported the idea that scalar implicaturesare Quantity-based generalized conversational implicatures (GCI). With the purpose of explaining this phenomenon, they derived their own principles inspired in Grice’s Quantity maxims and ...

Scalar implicatures versus presuppositions : the view from acquisition
, 2016 This paper reports an experimental investigation of presuppositions and scalar implicatures in language acquisition. Recent proposals (Chemla 2009; Romoli 2012, Romoli in J Semant 1–47, 2014) posit the same mechanisms for generating both types of ...

On Children’s Knowledge of Scalar Implicatures : Evidence from Hebrew coordination
, 2004 "There has been much discussion about children’s knowledge of scalar implicatures. Some researchers have found evidence for early knowledge of these implicatures, i.e. Papafragou and Musolino (2003) for numerical scales, Chierchia, et al.

Scalar implicatures of embedded disjunction
, 2015 Sentences with disjunction in the scope of a universal quantifier, Every A is P or Q, tend to give rise to distributive inferences that each of the disjuncts holds of at least one individual in the domain of the quantifier, Some A is P & Some A is Q ...
