Games and Quantity Implicatures∗
In this paper we seek to account for scalar implicatures and Horn’s division of pragmatic labor in game-theoretical terms by making use mainly of refinements of the standard solution concept of signaling games. Scalar implicatures are accounted for in terms of Farrell’s (1993) notion of a ‘Neologism-Proof’ equilibrium together with Grice’s maxim of Quality. Horn’s division of pragmatic labor is...
متن کاملQuantity implicatures, exhaustive interpretation, and rational conversation
Quantity implicatures are inferences triggered by an utterance based on what other utterances a speaker could have made instead. Using ideas and formalisms from game theory, I demonstrate that these inferences can be explained in a strictly Gricean sense as rational behavior. To this end, I offer a procedure for constructing the context of utterance insofar as it is relevant for quantity reason...

متن کاملConversational Implicatures
According to standard pragmatics, we should account for conversational implicatures in terms of Grice's (1975) maxims of conversation. Neo-Griceans like Atlas & Levinson (1981) and Horn (1984) seek to reduce those maxims to the so-called Q and I-principles. In this paper I want to argue that (i) there are major problems for reducing Gricean pragmatics to these two principles, and (ii) that, in ...
متن کاملRelevance Implicatures
According to standard pragmatics, we should account for conversational implicatures in terms of Grice’s (1967) maxims of conversation. Neo-Griceans like Atlas & Levinson (1981) and Horn (1984) seek to reduce those maxims to the so-called Q and I-principles. In this paper I want to argue that (i) there are major problems for reducing Gricean pragmatics to these two principles, and (ii) in fact, ...
