Abstract: | Two simple generalized conversational implicatures are investigated :(1) the quantitative scalar implicature associated with
‘or’, and (2) the ‘not-and’-implicature, which is the dual to (1). It is argued that it is more fruitful to consider these
implicatures as rules of interpretation and to model them in an algebraic fashion than to consider them as nonmonotonic rules
of inference and to model them in a proof-theoretic way. |
