Within the past couple decades, the number of students enrolled in ASL classes has increased dramatically, and there ...
متن کاملSituated Inference versus Conversational Implicature
As Grice defined it, a speaker conversationally implicates that p only if the speaker expects the hearer to recognize that the speaker thinks that p.

Instead, the hearer might simply make...

Stepping back, I find that the two sides in this debate are not r...
