Some scales require cognitive effort: A systematic review on the role of working memory in scalar implicature derivation

BL Nys, W Wong, W Schaeken - Cognition, 2024 - Elsevier
If some inferences require cognitive effort, could that mean, that all of them do? The scalar
term" some" has long fascinated academics from various backgrounds, as it can be …

A Khorsheed, N Gotzner - Frontiers in Communication, 2023 - frontiersin.org
For more than 20 years, studies in experimental pragmatics have provided invaluable

Why second-language speakers sometimes, but not always, derive scalar inferences like first-language speakers: Effects of task demands

A Khorsheed, B Van Tiel - Language Acquisition, 2024 - Taylor & Francis
Many studies report that the computation of scalar inferences, such as the inference from
'some'to 'not all', is cognitively costly. However, a number of studies on scalar inferences in …

Slowdowns in scalar implicature processing: Isolating the intention-reading costs in the Bott & Noveck task

CR Ronderos, I Noveck - Cognition, 2023 - Elsevier
An underinformative sentence, such as Some cats are mammals, is trivially true with a
semantic (some and perhaps all) reading of the quantifier and false with a pragmatic (some …

Non-plural interpretations of'some': Mouse-tracking evidence for quick social reasoning in real-time

W Li, H Rohde, M Corley - Glossa Psycholinguistics, 2024 - research.ed.ac.uk
In support of an account in which disfluency can cue social reasoning in real time, Loy et
al.(2019) showed that listeners are more likely to make an early commitment to a socially …

Some but not all speakers sometimes but not always derive scalar implicatures

S Ramotowska, P Marty, L Van Maanen… - Proceedings of the …, 2024 - escholarship.org
Experimental studies show that the tendency to derive Scalar Implicatures (SIs) varies
considerably between individuals: some individuals accept sentences that are literally true …

[PDF][PDF] Scalar inferencing, polarity and cognitive load

P Marty, J Romoli, Y Sudo, BJM van Tiel, R Breheny - 2024 - repository.ubn.ru.nl
An utterance of (1-a) commonly conveys the Scalar Inference (SI) in (1-c). On most accounts
of SIs, this pragmatic enrichment is assumed to involve the generation and negation of …
