Scalar Implicatures: Pragmatic Inferences or Grammar?
This talk discusses the nature of different kinds of scales and controversies over issues on the generation of scalar implicatures, particularly those in complex sentences involving disjunction and another operator in its scope, and so on. The pragmatic position based on Gricean reasoning in opposition to the grammatical position based on alternative semantics and LF syntax employing the exhaus...
متن کاملInferences About Personal Identity
We investigate the features people use in making inferences about continuity of individual persons. Using a transformation paradigm, we show that people weigh both continuity of the brain and continuity of mental content. Across experiments, we document instances in which participants are more likely to assert individual continuity than continuity of personhood. We discuss these results in term...
متن کاملEmbedded Implicatures as Pragmatic Inferences under Compositional Lexical Uncertainty
How do comprehenders reason about pragmatically ambiguous scalar terms like some in complex syntactic contexts? In many pragmatic theories of conversational implicature, local exhaustification of such terms (‘only some’) is predicted to be difficult or impossible if the result does not entail the literal meaning, whereas grammatical accounts predict such construals to be robustly available. Rec...
متن کاملInferences for Extended Generalized Exponential Distribution based on Order Statistics
‎Recently‎, ‎a new distribution‎, ‎named as extended generalized exponential distribution‎, ‎has been introduced by Kundu and Gupta (2011). ‎In this paper‎, ‎we consider the extended generalized exponential distribution with known shape parameters α and β. ‎At first‎, ‎the exact expressions for marginal and product moments of o...
متن کاملThe Identity Statuses: Origins, Meanings, and Interpretations
This chapter describes the origins and development of the identity statuses and provides a brief overview of studies into antecedent, concurrent, and consequent implications of the construct. In so doing, it reviews selected personality, relational, behavioral, and developmental variables that have been examined in relation to the identity statuses over the past 45 years. Additionally, the chap...
