Maximal informativity accounts for the distribution of temporal in-adverbials
Spanish Bare Interrogatives and Number
Dayal (1996) makes two predictions on the interaction of number and wh-phrases: (i) that questions with singular wh-phrases yield a uniqueness inference, and (ii) that questions with plural wh-phrases yield an antiuniqueness inference. Maldonado (2020) shows that Spanish bare wh-phrases do not conform to Dayal’s predictions. From this, she argues against a unified treatment of number across wh-expressions. Elliott et al. (2022) argue that a unifi…
Global Second Language Proficiency Predicts Self-Perceptions of General Sarcasm Use Among Bilingual Adults
Each culture has a distinct set of features that contribute to a unique communication style. For example, bilinguals often balance multiple social contexts and may undergo cognitive changes that consequently support different communication styles. The present work examines how individual differences in bilingual experience affect one form of communication style: sarcastic and indirect language. A diverse sample of largely bilingual adults (first …
Presuppositional implicatures: Quantity or maximize presupposition
Schlenker (2012) proposes that when framed within a modern Stalnakerian view ofpresupposition and common ground (Stalnaker, 1998, 2002), Maximize Presupposition! (Heim,1991; Sauerland, 2008) can be viewed as a special case of the maxim of Quantity (Grice, 1975).We provide data suggesting that in some cases, Maximize Presupposition! applies even whenspeakers are not expected to use a presupposition as vectors of new information. We arguethat these…
