I seek to mediate this debate. I describe a general framework for interactional models of implicature and then assess the major arguments for grammar-driven approaches. My central findings are that many of these arguments are conceptually or theoretically problematic, and that the valid ones do not compromise the Gricean picture. Stepping back, I find that the two sides in this debate are not r...

Concerns about the work of breathing imposed by the endotracheal tube have led clinicians to routinely use pressure support to overcome this resistive component. More recently, ventilator manufacturers have introduced systems to automatically overcome endotracheal tube resistance, regardless of tube diameter or patient demand for flow. Despite the theoretical advantages, neither method appears ...

The Sort and Sift, Think Shift qualitative data analysis approach is an iterative process where analysts dive into to understand its content, dimensions, properties, then step back assess what they have learned determine next steps. Researchers move from establishing understanding of in the (“Diving In”) exploring their relationship (“Stepping Back”). This “Diving In” “Stepping Back” repeated t...
