Evidential scalar implicatures
Linguistics and Philosophy, 2012 This paper develops an analysis of a scalar implicature that is induced by the use of reportative evidentials such as the Cuzco Quechua enclitic = si and the German modal sollen. Reportatives, in addition to specifying the speaker's source of information for a statement as a report by someone else, also usually convey that the speaker does not have ...

Scalar implicatures in second language acquisition
Lingua, 2010 This study investigates the second language acquisition This study investigates the second language acquisition (L2A) of scalar implicatures (Grice, 1989 and Horn, 1972), implicatures based on a range of quantifiers ordered in terms of informational ...

Scalar Implicatures in Complex Sentences
Linguistics and Philosophy, 2004 This article develops a Gricean account for the computation of scalar implicatures in cases where one scalar term is in the scope of another. It shows that a cross-product of two quantitative scales yields the appropriate scale for many such cases.

Numerals and scalar implicatures
2011In this paper we explore the relation between the meaning of number denoting determiners (‘numerals’) and the polarity of the context in which they occur. We claim that when numerals are embedded in positive (i.e. Upward Entailing) contexts they are given an upper bounded (‘exactly’) reading more often than when they are embedded in minimally different

We review experimental evidence regarding the development of scalar implicature in children. Scalar implicatures are inferences that arise when utterances like “Mary ate some of the cakes” are interpreted as “Mary ate some but not all of the cakes.” The evidence suggests that, even though the mechanism for generating scalar implicatures in children is ...
