Some Pieces Are Missing: Implicature Production in Children [PDF]
Frontiers in Psychology, 2018 Until at least 4 years of age, children, unlike adults, interpret some as compatible with all. The inability to draw the pragmatic inference leading to interpret some as not all, could be taken to indicate a delay in pragmatic abilities, despite evidence

Children's Acquisition of Homogeneity in Plural Definite Descriptions [PDF]
Frontiers in Psychology, 2019 Plural definite descriptions give rise to homogeneity effects: the positive The trucks are blue and the negative The trucks aren't blue are both neither true nor false when some of the trucks are blue and some are not, that is, when the group of trucks ...

Sources of cognitive cost in scalar implicature processing: A review
Frontiers in Communication, 2022 Research in Experimental Pragmatics has shown that deriving scalar implicatures involves effort and processing costs. This finding was robust and replicated across a wide variety of testing techniques, logical terms, populations, and languages.

A closer look at the sources of variability in scalar implicature derivation: a review
Frontiers in Communication, 2023 For more than 20 years, studies in experimental pragmatics have provided invaluable insights into the cognitive processes involved in deriving scalar implicatures and achieving inferential comprehension.

Scalar Implicature, Hurford's Constraint, Contrastiveness and How They All Come Together
Frontiers in Communication, 2021 Disjunction with two scalar items, such as some or all of the books, has been regarded as evidence for the grammatical theory of scalar implicatures (e.g., Chierchia et al., 2012).

Semantics and Pragmatics, 2009 Over the last decade, various proposals have been made for supplanting the classical Gricean theory of scalar implicature with conventionalist (i.e. lexicalist or syntax-based) treatments.

Slurs and Pragmatic Competition [PDF]
ManuscritoDifferences in informativeness regarding truth-conditional and presuppositional content elicit scalar inferences. Many sentences carry not-at-issue, non-presupposed content, e.g. conventional implicatures.

The neural computation of scalar implicature [PDF]
Language, Cognition and Neuroscience, 2014 Language comprehension involves not only constructing the literal meaning of a sentence but also going beyond the literal meaning to infer what was meant but not said. One widely-studied test case is scalar implicature: The inference that, e.g., Sally ate some of the cookies implies she did not eat all of them.

Upper-Bounded Scalars and Argumentation-in-Language Theory
Anglophonia, 2019 Scalar implicatures, such as the ‘not all’-implicature attached to “some”, have been at the center of debates on the semantics-pragmatics interface ever since Horn (1972).
