On the Non-Unified Nature of Scalar Implicature: An Empirical Investigation
TL;DR: This article found that the interpretation of scalar implicature is sensitive to both the associated scale type and discourse context, and that gradable adjectives were less frequently incorporated into truth-conditional meaning than cardinals, quantificational items, and ranked orderings.
Journal ArticleDOI
A novel experimental paradigm for distinguishing between what is said and what is implicated
TL;DR: The authors investigated whether speakers can systematically distinguish between what is said and what is implicated using a truth-value judgment paradigm across a wide range of implicature types, and found that participants with a clear set of judgment criteria, including the adoption of an objective third-person perspective, were able to enhance their ability to distinguish conversational implicatures from truth-conditional meaning.
