This book is an advanced debate on the nature of scalar
implicatures, one of the most popular topics in philosophical
linguistics in the last 20 years. Leading theorists in the field
offer an up-to-date presentation of the subject in a way that will
help readers to orient themselves in the vast literature on the
topic.
This book discusses developments in the study of implicatures and
presuppositions, drawing on recent linguistic and psycholinguistic
literature. It provides original discussions of specific formal
aspects of the theoretical reconstruction of these phenomena. The
authors offer innovative experimental analyses in which crucial
processing questions are addressed, and new experimental
methodologies are introduced. The result is an advanced debate
featuring broad empirical coverage of the issues, as well as an
informed discussion of the connections between a Compositional
Semantics and a Pragmatic Theory of Implicit Communication, in
light of the empirical data coming from Experimental Semantics and
Pragmatics. This book will be a worthwhile read for those with
interests in both the formal and methodological aspects of these
arguments.
