Intermediate Scalar Implicatures

2014
In this chapter, I am concerned with the explanation of scalar implicatures; specifically, with the question whether scalar implicatures should be explained in the pragmatics or in the semantics of a sentence.* In this discussion, I use the terms implicative and scalar implicative simply as labels for a certain range of facts.

Scalar implicature and contrastive explanation

Synthese, 2007
I argue for a subsumption of any version of Grice’s first quantity maxim posited to underlie scalar implicature, by developing the idea of implicature recovery as a kind of explanatory inference, as e.g. in science. I take the applicable model to be contrastive explanation, while following van Fraassen’s analysis of explanation as an answer to a why ...

Scalar implicatures and iterated admissibility

Linguistics and Philosophy, 2013
Paul Grice has given an account of conversational implicatures that hinges on the hypothesis that communication is a cooperative activity performed by rational agents which pursue a common goal. The attempt to derive Grice’s principles from game theory is a natural step, since its aim is to predict the behaviour of rational agents in situations where ...

The balance of scalar implicature

2015
This dissertation aims to provide new insight into the properties that underlie scalar implicature (SI) processing. Previous experiments have investigated the time course of SI processing and whether or not it is a costly, resource-demanding process, but not what the resources have been specifically used to do, and when.

Projecting Presuppositions with Scalar Implicatures

2019
I present a system which reconciles free choice permission effect with other scalar implicatures. The core idea is to cluster together alternatives which are obtained by similar transformations of the original sentence (e.g., replacement of a given item with a stronger item).

The Roots of (Scalar) Implicature

2014
A year after unveiling the notion of ‘implicature’ in his William James lectures at Harvard, Paul Grice published one of these lectures, a study of the relation of word meaning to utterer’s meaning within his overall framework for speaker meaning: The wider programme...arises out of a distinction I wish to make within the lolal signification of a ...
