- W2102715811 abstract "University of NijmegenFor the purposes of this note, I will assume that the Gricean account of scalarimplicature is correct. I admit that I don’t have any qualms about makingthis assumption, since as far as I can tell, the Gricean account is the onlygame in town. But I thought I should mention it.With this preliminary out of the way, let us proceed to the problem area,and start by considering the following example:(1) Jill had some of the pears.According to the standard story, the literal meaning of this sentence (whatit “says”) is that Jill had at least some of the pears. This meaning is com-plemented by a conversational implicature that results from the followingreasoning: “If the speaker had known that Jill had all of the pears, he wouldhave said so, and since he didn’t, we are entitled to conclude that, for allthe speaker knows, Jill didn’t have all the pears.” Thus, (1) is understoodas conveying that Jill had at least some (literal meaning) but not all (scalarimplicature) of the pears.So far so good. But the received opinion is that the same analysis appliesto disjunctive sentences (see, e.g., Horn 1989, and more recently Sauerland2004, van Rooij and Schulz 2004, and Spector 2006):(2) Jill had an apple or a pear.In this case, the literal meaning is that Jill had an apple or a pear or both,and the implicature is derived as follows: “If the speaker had known that Jillhad an apple as well as a pear, he would have said so, and since he didn’t, weare entitled to conclude that, for all the speaker knows, Jill did not have anapple as well as a pear.” Hence, (2) is understood as conveying that Jill hadan apple and/or a pear (literal meaning) but not both (scalar implicature)." @default.
