SCALAR IMPLICATURE IN FACEBOOK
This 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

Gottinger Schriften zur Englischen Philologie Band 3 Wer bei „scalar implicatures“ an eine exotische Zierfischart denkt und vor seinem geistigen Auge bunte Segelflosser majestatisch zwischen Steinen und Grunpflanzen dahinschweben sieht, der irrt sich sehr: Scalar implicatures bezeichnen keine Buntbarschart, sondern gehoren in den Bereich der Pragmatik.

Conjoined Predication and Scalar Implicature
Magri (2016) investigates two puzzles arising from conjunction. Although Magri has proposed a solution to the second puzzle, the first remains unresolved. This first puzzle reveals a hidden interaction among quantification, collective/concurrent interpretation, and contextual updating dimensions that have yet to be explored.
