Scalar alternative activation for implicature processing: A Lexical Decision Study With Antonyms and Negation
Scalar words such as warm may give rise to inferences such as warm but not hot. Under standard accounts, such scalar implicatures are derived by negating stronger alternatives. In processing, weaker scale-mates ( warm ) prime stronger ones ( hot ), suggesting that the latter are used in implicature processing (De Carvalho et al., 2016. Frontiers in Psychology , 7, 1500; Ronai & Xiang, 2023. Experiments in Linguistic Meaning , 2, 229–240). We test…
The Interpretation of Relative and Absolute Adjectives Under Negation
Negation typically has a contradictory effect on interpretation. At the same time, negated statements are often underinformative, which leaves room for pragmatic effects such as negative strengthening, where negated adjectives are pragmatically strengthened to convey their antonym (e.g., not large $\leadsto $ ‘small’). Here, we investigate a theoretical controversy relating to the mechanism deriving negative strengthening effects. According to Ho…
Gradable adjective interpretation under negation: The role of competition
Gradable adjectives have recently drawn a lot of attention in experimental semantics/pragmatics regarding the different interpretations they trigger depending on scale structure, polarity, extremeness, and presence of negation (e.g., Gotzner et al. 2018b; a; Leffel et al. 2019). The current study investigates the interpretation of relative and absolute gradable adjectives in the scope of negation (e.g., not large and not clean, respectively) capi…
Modified Numerals
This chapter discusses the use of experimental methods for probing the semantics and pragmatics of numeral modification. Modified numerals, like ‘at least 3’ or ‘more than 2’, are interesting from a theoretical point of view because they give rise to a range of implicature-like inferences depending on the form of the modifier and the immediate linguistic context. The chapter discusses both studies that aim to counter or support existing theoretic…
A Corpus Study of Greek Bare Singulars: Implications for an Analysis
Neste artigo apresentamos os resultados de um estudo de corpus sobre o singular nu no grego. Este estudo disponibiliza pela primeira vez dados de corpus que inclui todo o conjunto de verbos que têm sido apontados como permitindo o nominal singular contável nu (BSCNs) em grego. Primeiro, discutimos duas das classes de verbo que permitem o BSCNs, verbos de criação e construções existenciais. Em seguida, argumentamos que BSCNs não são neutros para n…
