Glossa, 2017 In this paper, we extend investigations of the possible effects of cross-linguistic influence at the pragmatics-syntax interface (Hulk & Müller 2000; Müller & Hulk 2001; Serratrice, Sorace & Paoli 2004), by presenting two experiments designed

An Adaptive Logic for the Formal Explication of Scalar Implicatures
, 2009 Hearers get at the intended meaning of uncooperative utterances (i.e. utterances that conflict with the prescriptions laid down by the Gricean maxims) by pragmatically deriving sentences that reconcile these utterances with the maxims.

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.

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.

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.

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 ...

Are Scalar Implicatures Computed Online?
, 2019 We adopt the visual-world eye-tracking paradigm to test the hypothesis that scalar implicatures are integrated very locally to the utterance of scalar terms. Focusing on the ?and, or?

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 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

A speed-accuracy trade-off in children’s processing of scalar implicatures [PDF]
, 2016 Scalar implicatures—inferences from a weak description (“Iate some of the cookies”) that a stronger alternative is true(“I didn’t eat all”)—are paradigm cases of pragmatic infer-ence. Children’s trouble with scalar implicatures is thus animportant puzzle
