Mandatory implicatures in Gricean pragmatics
Gricean implicatures are often viewed as a very weak kind of implication, viz., as optional enrichments of the literal meaning of an utterance. In virtue of being optional, they need not be present on every occasion of utterance, and they can be explicitly denied. Further, if implicatures are viewed as optional enrichments, a false implicature cannot be the reason why an utterance is infelicito...
متن کاملScalar Implicatures: Exhaustivity and Gricean Reasoning
This paper shows that both scalar implicatures and exhaustification of answers can be understood as the outcome of a pragmatic reasoning based on Gricean maxims. I offer a formalization of the Gricean reasoning that solves the problems (cf. Chierchia 2001) faced by standard neo-Gricean accounts. I further show that positive and non-positive answers pattern very differently, in a way that can be...

متن کاملEmergence of Gricean Maxims from Multi-Agent Decision Theory
Grice characterized communication in terms of the cooperative principle, which enjoins speakers to make only contributions that serve the evolving conversational goals. We show that the cooperative principle and the associated maxims of relevance, quality, and quantity emerge from multi-agent decision theory. We utilize the Decentralized Partially Observable Markov Decision Process (Dec-POMDP) ...
