Scalar implicatures of embedded disjunction por Crnič, Luka, Chemla, Emmanuel, Fox, Daniel

“...We address this challenge by showing that on particular assumptions about alternatives, a derivation of distributive inferences as scalar implicatures can be maintained without in fact necessitating plain negated inferences. ...”

Scalar Implicature is Sensitive to Contextual Alternatives por Zhang, Zheng, Bergen, Leon, Paunov, Alexander, Ryskin, Rachel, Gibson, Edward

“...The quantifier "some" often elicits a scalar implicature during comprehension: "Some of today's letters have checks inside" is often interpreted to mean that not all of today's letters have checks inside. ...”

Scalar implicatures: working memory and a comparison with only por Chemla, Emmanuel, Marty, Paul Pierre

Cancelling the Maxim of Quantity: Another challenge for a Gricean theory of Scalar Implicatures por Fox, Daniel

“...Here it is argued that the situation with Scalar Implicatures is different. This is expected by the grammatical theory of Scalar Implicatures, but not by standard Gricean or neo-Gricean alternatives. ...”

Pragmatic competence and pragmatic tolerance in foreign language acquisition—revisiting the case of scalar implicatures por Schulz, J, Wonnacott, E

“...Previous L2 studies used binary Truth-Value-Judgment (TVJ) tasks to investigate L1–L2 differences in scalar implicature derivation (<em>some X</em> implicates <em>some but not all X</em>). ...”

Pragmatic competence and pragmatic tolerance in foreign language acquisition – revisiting the case of scalar implicatures por Schulz, JM

“...One type of inference are scalar implicatures, e.g. understanding that “some X” generally implicates “some but not all X”. ...”

A subclinical study of the cognitive resources underlying scalar implicature: A focus on scalar adjectives por Husband, M

“...Recent investigations of different types of scalar implicature have reported variable strength in comprehenders’ commitment to their implicated meanings, perhaps related to the different properties each scale type has. ...”

Differences between Spanish monolingual and Spanish-English bilingual children in their calculation of entailment-based scalar implicatures por Anne Lingwall, Anthony Arias-Amaya, Christina Germak, Hannah Baker, Jennifer Austin, Kristen Syrett, Liliana Sánchez, Silvia Perez-Cortes

“...In this paper, we extend investigations of the possible effects of cross-linguistic influence at the pragmatics-syntax interface (Hulk &amp; Müller 2000; Müller &amp; Hulk 2001; Serratrice, Sorace &amp; Paoli 2004), by presenting two experiments designed to probe how Spanish monolingual and Spanish-English bilingual preschool-age children approach the ‘some, but not all’ scalar implicature (SI) associated with algunos (‘some’). ...”

Role of personality traits and working memory capacity in scalar implicature computation among L2 Malay adults por Khorsheed, Ahmed

“...When we say that Some people have lungs, we implicate that not all people have lungs. This scalar implicature arises when we produce a weaker expression instead of a stronger one. ...”
