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 ...

On the interpretation of scalar implicatures in first and second language
Journal of Pragmatics, 2021 We investigated the effect of presenting items in a foreign language (L2) on scalar- implicatures computation. To ensure that L2 processing was more effortful than the pro- cessing of the native language (L1), participants were late learners of L2 ...

Distinguishing speed from accuracy in scalar implicatures
Journal of Memory and Language, 2012 Scalar implicatures are inferences that arise when a weak expression is used instead of a stronger alternative. For example, when a speaker says, “Some of the children are in the classroom,” she often implies that not all of them are.

Possibly all of that and then some: Scalar implicatures are understood in two steps [PDF]
Journal of Memory and Language, 2013 Scalar implicatures often incur a processing cost in sentence comprehension tasks. We used a novel mouse-tracking technique in a sentence verification paradigm to test different accounts of this effect.

Scalar implicatures of embedded disjunction
Natural Language Semantics, 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 ...
