Does intonation automatically strengthen scalar implicatures?

Two mouse-tracking experiments tested predictions from two different models of scalar implicature as to whether exhaustive interpretations are computed prior ignorance implicatures. We use German intonational patterns probe the availability these (Experiments 1 and 2) add a speaker competence manipulation in Experiment 2. Results found that deriving with an L+H* was delayed implicatures L*+H contour. 2 replicated this finding even strengthened assumption about speaker. interpret our processing data providing constraints on computational mechanisms underlying interpretation EARLY ACCESS
