Investigating a shared mechanism in the priming of manner and quantity implicature

In the current paper, we investigate existence of a shared derivation mechanism between manner and quantity implicature. As per Gricean-inspired perspective, both implicature are derived in substantially analogous fashion, relying on consideration alternative ways which speaker could have spoken, but didn’t. contrast, other accounts (e.g., grammatical accounts) consider to be distinct their derivational mechanisms.Previous studies found that can prime subsequent within subtypes structural priming paradigm, suggesting ad hoc, numeral some governed by same mechanism. We applied paradigm case 1) whether primed, 2) 3) primed Through manner-manner priming, paper addresses psycholinguistic reality manner. While quantity-manner probes phenomena.We show under certain experimental circumstances hoc quantity, not also implicature, whereas cannot.
