The Roots of (Scalar) Implicature
2014A 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 ...

Scalar implicatures in a signed language
Sign Language & Linguistics, 2014This paper tests the calculation of scalar implicatures in American Sign Language (ASL) in one of the first experimental pragmatic studies in the manual/visual modality. Both native signers of ASL and native speakers of English participated in an automated Felicity Judgment Task to compare implicatures based on two traditional scales as well as “ad hoc”

Scalar Implicatures, Communication, and Language Evolution
2010This text deals with Scalar Implicatures (SIs). According to the main tenets of Grice, derivation of SIs is a pragmatic phenomenon that occurs at the root of the sentence, in a global fashion. This is the so-called “globalism”. Theorists like Chierchia argue that in order to get specific readings otherwise unavailable SIs can (and in fact must) occur ...

Some Remarks on the Scalar Implicatures Debate
2014The purpose of this book is to provide a discussion forum for participants in the recent scalar implicatures debate. The bulk of contributions are formal, except for two. Larry Horn’s chapter, which opens the book, provides an interesting and remarkably documented investigation on the phenomenon’s historic development, evoking proto-pragmatic accounts ...

The case of scalar implicature processing
2019Implicatures like ‘Some politicians are smart’ (interpreted as ‘Some but not all politicians are smart’) are defined scalar implicatures. A heated linguistic debate has focused on how we derive those implicatures: some authors consider the computational process as linguistic in nature (Levinson, 2000), others as pragmatic in nature (Sperber & Wilson ...
