Scalar Implicatures in Complex Sentences
This article proposes a model for the computation of scalar implicatures in cases where one scalar term is in the scope of another. It shows that a crossproduct of two quantitative scales yields the appropriate scale for many such cases. One exception are cases involving disjunction. Here, it proposes a treatment that makes use of a novel, partially ordered scale for disjunction and capitalizes...
متن کاملUli Sauerland Scalar Implicatures in Complex Sentences
This article develops a Gricean account for the computation of scalar implicatures in cases where one scalar term is in the scope of another. It shows that a cross-product of two quantitative scales yields the appropriate scale for many such cases. One exception is cases involving disjunction. For these, I propose an analysis that makes use of a novel, partially ordered quantitative scale for d...
متن کاملBare Numerals and Scalar Implicatures
Bare numerals present an interesting challenge to formal semantics and pragmatics: they seem to be compatible between various readings (‘at least’, ‘exactly’, and ‘at most’ readings), and the choice of a particular reading seems to depend on complex interactions between contextual factors and linguistic structure. The goal of this article is to present and discuss some of the current approaches...
متن کاملProjecting Presuppositions with Scalar Implicatures
I present a system which reconciles free choice permission effect with other scalar implicatures. The core idea is to cluster together alternatives which are obtained by similar transformations of the original sentence (e.g., replacement of a given item with a stronger item). Interestingly, this system can be extended to account for presupposition projection.
متن کاملScalar Implicatures of Russian Verbs
In this paper we address the common claim that perfective verbs presuppose the initial phase (or a process part) of events denoted by them, and assert their final phase (or a culmination part), while the meaning of imperfective verbs lacks both these components. Different formulations of this claim have been proposed by Padučeva (1996, 2011) and Romanova (2006) for Russian, and by Dočekal and K...
