Scalar Implicatures in Complex Sentences

Scalar Implicatures in Complex Sentences. Sauerland, U. Linguistics and Philosophy, 27(3):367–391, 2004.

This article develops a Gricean account for the computation of scalarimplicatures in cases where one scalar term is in the scope ofanother. It shows that a cross-product of two quantitative scalesyields the appropriate scale for many such cases. One exception iscases involving disjunction. For these, I propose an analysis that makesuse of a novel, partially ordered quantitative scale for disjunction andcapitalizes on the idea that implicatures may have different epistemic status.
