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 …
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 …

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 …
Experimental studies show that the tendency to derive Scalar Implicatures (SIs) varies considerably between individuals: some individuals accept sentences that are literally true …
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 …
Abstract Language comprehension requires a complex series of decisions under uncertainty. This is especially obvious when one string may have multiple different …
